*customers have reported issues with Michael's Unity Sand and so we do not recommend using their sand If you using sand from a beach make sure it's completely dry and more/finer sieving will most likely be necessary. A fine sieve or paint straining cloth works well for this purpose. With any sand you use we recommend you test it to make sure it flows properly from one end to the other before you seal your globe and sieve the sand if necessary to remove any large or irregular pieces. We have found most sand will flow through our globes unless the grains are large or if the sand has glitter in it. There are numerous websites dedicated to selling sand for sand ceremonies.* Also hobby stores such Hobby Lobby usually have colored sand. Click here if you wish to see them Where can I buy other colors of sand and will any sand work? Yes we have a selection of colors now available for purchase for use in your empty globe. Customers who want an accurate hourglass once the sand ceremony is done choose this option. It's also the only sand you may use in the globe during your sand ceremony as if you try to mix it with your own sand it will not flow. The globe with sand (only available with Signature Collection hourglasses) comes with the tan sand you see pictured and no other colors are available unless you special order. This is the option customers choose when they want to add their own sand, i.e. The empty globe has a larger center hole to accommodate most types of sand (or cremains in the case of urn hourglasses) so it runs fast. What’s the difference between the empty globe and globe with sand? Both options can be used in a sand ceremony for a wedding. It allows you to make the opening small enough to fit in the hole and the mouth large enough to add the cremains. See examples here.įor the urn hourglasses we recommend sieving the cremains and then fashioning a funnel out of paper. During the ceremony you will add sand to the globe. The individual product pages will tell you estimated ship times.įor your wedding ceremony we recommend you partially assemble your hourglass frame and insert the glass globe with the open end up (instructions are included in your package). A few others ship within 2 business days and arrive in 2-7 business days with the included shipping method. They generally arrive in about 2-3 weeks, a little longer when engraving is added.
Most of our fillable hourglasses are made when ordered. Note, both sand and cremains may need to be sieved to remove large or irregular pieces. Once your hourglass is filled and fully assembled you will be able to turn it over as many times as you like and the sand or cremains will not leak from the globe. Sand and containers (except some Signature Collection and sand ceremony package hourglasses)Īre your fillable hourglasses working hourglasses or for decorative use only?.
