Magnetic Sand Timer





The magnetic sand timer makes instant magnetic sand sculptures. The sand timer is made from glass and the base is made from metal, while the sand itself is made from iron filings. As the sand falls into the bottom half of the glass it forms magnetic sculptures due to the hidden magnet in the base. Tilting the timer can alter the shapes it makes. Typically the structure starts of craggy and ends up being a spiky surfaced hemisphere. Good fun and very decorative.
