1 1/2 cups plaster of Paris Duct tape or
masking tape
Large plastic mixing
containers
Toilet tissue (or giftwrap) tubes cut into
short sections
Prepare
the chalk molds by covering one end of each tissue tube with duct tape and
set aside. Pour the warm water into the mixing container, then
sprinkle the plaster powder into the water a little at a time until it no
longer dissolves. Stir this mixture until it is as thick as
pudding. Add tempera paint to the plaster mixture and stir until
blended. Pour the colored plaster into the tissue tubes. To
prevent air bubbles, tap the side of each tube. Allow to dry for 1-2
days, then peel off the mold.
