If you’ve never heard of the sand handprint trend, it’s a simple craft idea that loved ones can use to commemorate a day of fun in the sun. All you need is a board, some glue, and a marker. Each person covers one of their hands in glue, then presses it to the board. This leaves behind a sticky handprint, which is then dusted with sand. Once the excess is removed, you should have some perfect, sandy prints to remember your trip to the beach!

One creative boyfriend decided that this sand project would be the perfect way to make his proposal even more unforgettable. His girlfriend seemed pretty excited to create one of these viral crafts at the beach. However, she was totally floored when her partner got down on one knee by the shore! Thankfully, the couple caught some amazing footage of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

“Doing the beach sand trend but I don’t know he’s about to propose,” wrote the woman over her video.

This project was the perfect way to commemorate their engagement!

When the newly engaged lovebirds got home, they added some inscriptions to their sand project in honor of the special proposal. They wrote down their names, the name of the beach, and the date. Additionally, they drew a little engagement ring in the corner!

Commenters absolutely loved how this fiancé used the sand handprint project to make his proposal even sweeter. One person made a very thoughtful suggestion.

“Congratulations,” they wrote. “Btw, put a clear coat of sealant or clear spray paint over the handprints to keep the sand from falling off over time!”

What a thoughtful proposal idea! Now this couple will have a special memento from their engagement that they can treasure forever.
