Now put em' up on the wall!

If you thought casting them was easy, adhering them to the wall is a total cinch!

 

Step 1.

Dig out your trusty bucket of joint compound. Get a dollop of it on to the end of your even trustier flat edged trowel and smear it on to the back of the plaster piece you wish to mount. Completely cover the back, all the way out to the edges.

Step 2.

Place your buttered casting on the wall where you wish to mount it and hold in place.

Hold small pieces in place for about 1 minute. Larger pieces need to be held in place for around 5 minutes. (Yes, I know, but it's necessary and trust me, your little arms can really stay up there that long... turn on the TV or a radio for distraction and you'll get through it just fine.

Step 3.

With it now mounted in to place, you will want to fill any distance between the piece and the wall to make it become a solid part of the wall itself. This step creates a more "professional" and "finished" look.

It's easy to do this. Simply get some joint compound on to your finger and spread it between the plaster piece and the wall. Smooth it as you go.

Smooth out any compound that had "squished" out from behind the mold when you mounted it.

Step 4.

Allow it to dry and either leave pure white or paint the color of your wall. Now isn't that totally beautiful? This particular mold is called "Crowned Acanthus Leaves" and is a design that has been around since before the Victorian decorating era.

Add it to the fronts of your cupboards or completely surround a light fixture with them. They are gorgeous and very stylish in nearly any decor.
