Before you start mixing the plaster, please note following: Plaster powder starts to
harden once it is mixed with water. It is a gradual process in which the viscosity of
the mixture reduces gradually until it becomes hard. Always check the condition
of the mixture when mixing. Perform the moulding when the mixture is like a
smooth paste, approximately 3-5 minutes after the plaster is mixed with water. It
will be too hard to use for moulding when it starts to develop into a “lumpy”
condition.
1. MOULD : Place the mould on a flat working surface. You will need approximately
60-80ml of water, a mixing bowl and a stirring instrument (a spoon or popsicle
stick works well). Cut open one bag of plaster powder and pour it into the mixing
bowl. Do not add all the water at once, as that may make the plaster mixture too
runny for moulding. Watch the condition of the plaster paste and add the water
in small amounts as required until the mixture resembles a smooth paste. Depending
on the atmospheric conditions, the plaster will normally become a smooth paste
after approximately 60-80 ml of water is mixed with it. Place the string onto the
mould, and remind to make a knots on both ends. Pour the plaster mixture into the
mould. Gently agitate the mould to eliminate air bubbles. Leave the plaster mixture
to set. This will take approximately 20 - 30 minutes and will release some warmth
at normal room temperature. Once the plaster has fully hardened, gently press the
mould to release the name plate.
2. PAINT: For best result, allow the plaster to dry completely before painting. This
can take up to 24 hours depending on weather conditions. Paint your own design
or refer to the following painting tips and colour guide.
3. SPRINKLE GLITTER: While the paint is still wet, have an adult cut the corner of
the glitter packet then carefully sprinkle the glitter over your name plate to make
it sparkle.
4. WRITE YOUR NAME: Once the plaster name plate is completely dry, write your
name onto the name plate & hang it on your wall or door. Now you have your very
own fairy name plate.

Cover and protect your work surface before you begin to paint.
For best results, apply two or more layers of paint, but wait until the first layer is
dry before applying a second coat.
It is always easier to paint a darker colour on a lighter colour back-ground. Use
lighter colours on your first coat of paint.
Adding a small drop of dishwashing detergent to the paint will help the paint apply
more easily.
Avoid mixing too many colours together as they will make the final colour look
muddy.
Wash the brush before changing to another colour and dry the brush by dabbing it
on a paper towel.
If the paint strip becomes dry, dilute it with a few drops of water.
