Let’s dive in and start this DIY decor for your home.
When working with plaster, you always want to add the powder to the water.
In fact, if you add the water to the powder, it heats up and thickens and drys quicker.
The water needs to be between 40-50 degrees.
So, we placed ice cubes in our container of water to keep it cool enough.
The plaster is mixed 2 to 1, 1 part water to 2 parts plaster.
One more tip, only mix enough plaster that you can use in 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes it will start to thicken up and you will not be able to manipulate it.
First, we placed 1/2 c. cold water in our mixing container.
To that we added 1 c. of plaster.
Stir well, and make sure there are no lumps.
In general the plaster should be thick enough to hold its shape, but also thin enough to spread on the surface of your container.
