I bought this hurricane from Pottery Barn and have a flameless candle in it. Pottery Barn shows it with sand around the candle, and I would like to do that, too.
Can I put sand around a flameless candle? When I need to change the batteries I'm wondering how I will do that. Should I wrap something like Glad wrap around the bottom of the candle before pouring the sand in? I'm just trying to figure out a practical way to do this.
Top picture is without sand, and bottom picture is with sand.

I don't think there would be an issue with the sand. Covers are on pretty tight. You could use like a painters tape around the lid of you wanted. It would stick, but not cause damage when removing.

Very pretty and I have one of my flameless candles in a similar holder with sand and sea glass in the base, no problems. (It is a very old CI candle that has a nice long battery run time between replacements). Post a photo when you get yours set up!

Thanks good to know @hookedonq . I will post a picture when it's finished. I'd love to see the picture of yours with the sand and sea glass.

Love that handsome hurricane, @NickNack , with its clean lines! Looks great, with and without sand-- enjoy.

River stones would be nice in it too
or sand with shells (or sea glass like @hookedonq said).
I think just the plain sand doesn't present as well as just the plain lantern, or with something on the sand.

Sand will be very nice, and it should be pretty easy, also you might want to think about the Glass stones that Pottery Barn sells, those are so pretty as well. I have a lot of Pottery Barn lanterns, they are such good quality! I am sure yours will be very pretty!

@NickNack Love your Pottery Barn purchase and you have many options. I have a couple similar pieces from PB and have used sand, sprigs of holly, small shells, stones both river and glass, PB vase fillers, tiny pumpkins and whatever catches my eye. I like to move things around and change thing up, with such versatile pieces it's easy to do. Enjoy

If you're worried about the sand getting into the battery component, you could place some of a product called Press N Seal around the base.
It sticks differently than regular plastic wrap and may just be your "missing link."
It's easily placed and easily removable. Can be reused, too, for example, when you need to replace the batteries.
