Casting plaster is so easy. Just mix plaster of paris with water, brush your mold with mineral oil, pour in the plaster and let it harden. Once you pop it out of the mold, you have cool ornamental pieces that you can use in many different ways including to attach to the walls or ceilings or use as artwork. But how do you add color to the pieces? Well, that's just as easy. One thing I love to do is to add universal tints right to the water before I scoop in the dry plaster of paris. This colors the piece through out. I've also used standard craft paints for this trick as well. But antiquing the piece really brings out the detail. And it's so easy. How to paint plaster pieces: (two examples provided) Step one: coat your piece with either a mixture of white glue and water at a 1 to 1 ratio and let dry or coat with a light coating of translucent wall glaze. These act as a sealer to seal the porous plaster so that the paint takes evenly on the surface. Step two: once the sealer is dry, using acrylic or even house paints, base coat the piece in your choice of colors.
