But after starting what I thought would be an easy plaster bowl - my first one was a complete fail! I couldn't get the plaster bowl out of the mold! It was metal! Silly me! So I looked around in my stash and saw an old doily I had gotten from Michaels a few years ago. I knew I wouldn't have a problem making a plaster doily bowl! After all, there are so many ways to stiffen and shape a doily into a bowl! And they all seemed quite easy - including using plaster!
Materials
- Plastic trash bags or newspaper for covering work surface
- Plaster powder
- Plastic cup for dipping plaster powder
- Water
- Measured cup
- Doily
- Plastic container for mixing
- Stirring tools
- Plastic gloves
- Glass jar for draping
- Plastic bags

so much for your support!
Let's start with covering your work surface with opened plastic trash bags or newspaper. I opened a couple of plastic trash bags to cover my table
This DIY is as easy as one, two, three - Following the directions on the plaster package, mix a 1/2 cup water to 1 cup plaster powder. Use a throw-away plastic cup to scoop the plaster powder out of the bag into the plastic container.
Adding enough plaster to the water and stirring together so the consistency is that of cake batter.
Dip the doily into the plaster mixture, soaking the doily and making sure the doily is completely covered.
Squeeze out the excess plaster mixture and drape over the bottom of the upside down glass container.
Smooth out the doily over the jar, removing any wrinkles especially along the scalloped edges.
I wanted the bowl to flair out a bit, so I rolled up some plastic store bags and placed them under the crochet scalloped edges. Leaving it on the bowl overnight to allow it to completely dry and harden. Once dry, the doily was easily removed from atop of the glass container.
PS, I was finally able to remove the first plaster bowl from the metal mold. Perhaps I will share that one in a future post.




That turned out so pretty. This would make a great Mother's Day Gift.
