bit.ly In today’s CRAFT Video, I show you how to make custom plaster letters to represent your loved ones in your home. My husband, Will, and I were given gold letters to represent our initials awhile ago, and we have been looking for complimentary vintage letters for Milo and Gracie (our beloved pups).
Is there a Diy for the? mirror behind you in 4:59??
What would be the best way to hang them onto a wall? I am about to make my babies name for her nursery out of plaster of paris and plan to? hang them. Any tips???

Your dogs are adorable. Thanks very much for? the inspiration!
“This gone get messy.” I do love this project. I think I’d make the letters somewhat thinner (just my particular taste) –? and paint them with stone or glossy metallic. Thanks, Meg!
you could mix colored inks or watercolor into the wet plaster to color it as well, if you don’t mix it in all of the way it creates a somewhat? marbled look.
This was an awesome project, thanks for? sharing. I remember when you made that mirror starburst thingy in the background for TB. That was one of my favorite “your nest needs you” projects.

Probably one of your most? complicated tutorials yet, Meg and I love it! I might wanna give this a try this weekend. I hate that you ruined such a cute shirt, though!
stopped emerging, take out? your plaster… thing out, dry up the suface with some paper and start modling. these were the thing I learned, while we made mold out of clay faces we had made in class. Its real fun to do and easy people, jsut remember, DO NOT INHALE THE DRY PLASTER! when it is in its dry form, it can get in to your lungs, and get “water” in there, thus, you ahve plastered your lungs! wear something to cover your mouth and nouse, just in case when using dry plaster.
