You can get a massive amount of sand through different places depending on where you live,and that is always a much more affordable option and you also wouldn't have to pay shipping which makes it more convenient as well.
What types of places would it be available at? I was just thinking of purchasing some at Walmart. Is there a type of ingredient I should stay away from? Are the Sands used in bottle art okay, for example?
