Coffee can lid
Plaster of Paris
Toothpicks or pencil
Decorative materials
Paper clip
Wall plaques are
all-time plaster favorites. They are easy to do
and always look good, expressing the artist's mood
at the moment. Use a coffee can lid for a base.
Pour the thickened plaster into the lid. Press a
handprint--or a pet's pawprint--into the almost
hard plaster. You can also drop assorted
materials into the plaster to create a design or
design anything that suits your fancy. Use a
toothpick to inscribe a name and date on the
plaque.
Before the plaster
hardens, insert a large paper clip, or a soda can
pop top into the top edge of the plaque, so it can
be hung on the wall.
