Moisten the sand a little and press the mold into the sand, then pour the plaster of paris into the mold shape and let dry. When it is dry gently pull out the sculpture and gently brush off the excess sand. Something different and something that all the mess is outside. You could add glitter to the sand for some sparkle Report Spam or Abuse RE: Craft Ideas For Plaster Of Paris Post by cowpunkgal (9) | (07/18/2007) Contact Adding to the plastic spoon craft, you can also make pins by sticking in a safety pin while it sets. Then, paint, decorate, personalize accordingly.

Have handy lots of glass beads, marbles, bottle caps, plastic letters, plastic animals, and so on to decorate the tops. Concrete would be even better, but plaster will be enjoyable as a decoration, not stepped on, for a good long time.

I mix the plaster of paris and put in plastic spoons. Let harden and slip off the spoon mold. Paint with red paint, let dry. Taking pencils with erasers, dip eraser end of pencil in black paint and make the spots. I would also if wanted spray some shiny shellac after paint dries. Second, this is a version of one above. I go to Michaels or Joans crafts. Get some candy molds. The craft store also has some Faster Plaster and used to have molds. I would use the regular plaster of paris in these and make magnets.

Just pour the plaster into a deep styrofoam plate have them hold their hand in it until it sets up and they can paint them when they're dry. lI'd put a layer of plastic wrap over the plaster so no one gets too messy. Just like "baby" foot and hand prints.

You can get some at the Dollar Tree stores and then pour in plaster and let the plaster dry in the molds and then push them out and voila you have litter shapes or even "critters" depending on what molds you've used. They can then even paint them later if they want.

If you are really good with the strips you can make a loop in the top to hang the pinata from. If the girls do this the first night they can paint them the next day, depending on how many layers and how fast the plaster dries. Finally, cut a hole in the top and fill with candy. Then Smash! and eat candy! Report Spam or Abuse
