Plaster of Paris Hearts
These crafts are super easy and super fun!
when mixing the plaster of paris for the hearts you use 2 cups of plaster of paris and 1 cup of cold water, start mixing you will see that the mixture starts of as watery and then starts to become thicker, once all the lumps are out, pour it into the silicone baking mould , leave it for about 5minutes to set alittle, then at the top place a skewer stick or someting like a pencil and let it stand for about 30 minutes or until it is dry. Carefully remove the pencil or skewer that you inserted in to the mould. Then turn the mould around and simply twist off the silicone mould! tada! paint it, the paint a coat of deco varnish or decoupage on it to seal it , rope through some ribbon and you are done!
These hearts are awesom to hang in your garden,in your childs room, or if you have an art wall in your house like i do you can add the new collection on there!
Variations:
You can place your child's hand in the plaster of paris mould, when it is staring to set, once it is dry, you have an awesome print of your childs hand in the heart mould, paint, seal and store in your memory box!
Your child can also do "mosaic"
You simply wait until the plaster of paris has set to a state where it is not runny anymore, but is still a little mushy for the beads to stick to it, just paste the beading to a sticky part of the heart and leave to dry,once it's dry pop it out of the silicone mould and DONE!
ENJOY!!
