They can be sanded, painted and sealed depending on what you are doing. All I do is cut the size of strips I want and dip them in warm water.Īfter the strips are dry, you are ready for the fun, creative part.
The best ones are those that already have plaster of paris in them. I like to order the rolls that are already pre-shrunk. It is pretty inexpensive and there is no end to the creative projects you can do with it.
If you like working on different art projects, plaster gauze can be really fun to work with. There are a lot of fun craft projects that you can do with plaster gauze and it is simple enough that even young kids can be involved. It was also a good history lesson on the country of Egypt and mummies. They loved being involved in the whole process and having their own mask to wear around the house. You could do this with almost any theme you wanted. The next day after the masks were completely dry, they painted them with gold paint and decorated them to look like Egyptian mummies. It only took about 10 minutes for the strips to dry so they didn't get too wiggly during that time. These gauze strips were applied to their face and a piece of poster board that was the background for the mask. We covered their faces with plastic wrap and then used the plaster gauze strips to make a mold of their face. I had a blast making mummy masks with my kids using plaster bandages. Or do you have a recommendation for a substance with which to cover it that will smooth it out? Does anyone have a recommendation for a plaster gauze that is easy to smooth out? I've made a pot out of it and have sanded it a lot and it's still pretty rough and textured.
