When Amy Anderson discovered our website, she also discovered that it was possible to create unique plaster art on her ceilings and walls with our selection of plaster molds.

With just a few plaster mold designs, she created this huge ceiling medallion around her chandelier.
It’s easy! See how by clicking the link below:
Casting plaster is super easy. Just follow the instructions on the bag of plaster of paris for mixing the plaster. And it’s inexpensive! For as little as 50 cents per cast piece, your medallion will cost very little.
What do you use as the glue to hold them to the ceiling? That’s the best part! Simply spreading a layer of joint compound on to the back of the dried plaster piece, then holding it in place (on the wall or ceiling) for 60 seconds is all it takes to make the piece adhere beautifully!
I did a plaster frame around my chandelier and it survived a Seattle earthquake without even a tiny crack!


It was just an outdated wood box I found at a thrift store, but I was about to give it a great new life as a Christmas gift for a special friend.

I used joint compound on our Raised Plaster Diamond Panel Stencil on the top of the box after giving it a healthy coat of primer.

I then cast and applied plaster ornaments from our plaster molds to the top. Simply choose your favorite! White glue works fine to adhere them, just be sure to prime both sides first.

Once everything was dry, I painted the entire box with cream colored latex paint then mixed dark brown paint with translucent wall glaze and brushed it over the entire surface. Make sure to get your bristles in to all the little crooks and crannies!

With a wadded, old terry towel, begin wiping off the excess glaze, allowing it to remain in the recesses.

Once everything is dry, give it a good coat of clear sealer and it’s ready to give as a gift!
Cathy Higgins lives in a lovely home. But she felt her entry way stair case needed to be more glamorous. Like something one might see in a stately home in the deep south.

Plaster Molds to the rescue!
Once Cathy found our website and happened on our line of plaster molds, the inspiration struck her to use one of these beautiful designs to add more detail to her staircases.
Cathy chose our Left and Right Scroll Molds Set. Since the mold is re-usable, Cathy was able to cast as many pieces as she need for each stair level.
When the pieces were dry, she painted them the same color as the staircase and then attached them by spreading joint compound over the back side of the piece and holding it in place for just 60 seconds.

She was so elated with the front staircase, that she decided to do the back staircase to match!

We’ve always thought of plaster molds for doing funky little craft projects. But they can be used on walls, ceilings and furniture to create such beauty and detail. Where in your home might you use a plaster mold to add beauty?
