Hey 👋
For those of you who are interested in making your own DIY Plaster Crafts or just curious about what we do; for the next 4 weeks(every monday) I will be sharing some Hints & Tips on Plaster Crafts. From materials to demoulding to Packaging.
These are all my own personal hints n tips from using different plasters over the last few years.
Please be kind!
These tips are all free !
First Up -
Materials To Get You Started.
These are my personal go to materials, which we use day to day to make our Own Plaster Shape's
* Plaster Of Paris aka POP
* Water
* Mixing Bowls / Jugs
* Sticks - for stirring
* Sand Paper
*Measuring Spoon - optional (any type of scoop will be fine )
* Favorite Moulds
* Mask
* kitchen Weighing Scales
*Blue Nitrile Gloves
Tips -
*Silicone Measuring Bowls/Jugs - For easy cleaning- once plaster has dried,it will be easier to remove .
*Silicone Sticks - Plaster will not stick and easy to remove off once dried and can be used multiple times.
*Weighing Scales - this is really useful when first starting out . Use to weight out Plaster to Water ratios correctly - following manufacturers guide lines.
*Sand Paper Grit - P400 - P600 - Helps smooth those rough edges
*Safety Mask - A personal must! When mixing Plaster & Water small dust particles will eliminate into the air , which over time can get on your chest/lungs . Safety is always first!
*Blue Nitrile Gloves- Plaster on hands can sometime's cause skin reactions - these are powder free and helps protect's hands.
All these can be found via Amazon/Ebay or Temu . Hope you found this useful?!
