Plaster dipping flowers - anyone tried this?

I've never heard of that before, sounds an unusual plan and I dare say many won't have seen ur before either.

Are you able to have a trial to get the end effect ?

Yeah, I think I might have to just give it a go - interested to see if anyone's tried it before; I think it's one of those things that could be awesome, or go horribly, horribly wrong and trash the kitchen in the process

Do it in the garden, easy to clean up then!

Might do it at the 'rents - our garden is a building site! Gotta love renovations....

I believe any DIY project is worth a go, even if it goes wrong and you have to go for plan B!

I havent seen these before but they look really nice.

Just be careful with the plaster crackling and also test and try varnishing them for a more professional glossy look.

Good luck!

Thanks! Yes, I was going to play around with lacquers and colours if it works. Looks like I'll be getting messy this weekend.

I love the look of these, worth a shot!

*looks around the room to see what else I can dunk in plaster*

Right - bought 3 plastic flowers from Wilko and ordered a 500g bag of crystacast r, which is a harder plaster than normal plaster of paris.

Will let you know how I get on!

I want to see this!! hope your experiment goes well!

Thanks! Hoping the plaster turns up tomorrow, otherwise it'll be a Monday night job - either way, I want to try it out soon!
The plaster I bought can have pigment mixed into it, so if I'm successful, I can go crazy with colours!

Oooo never seen this. Looking forward to it!

Ooh those look pretty .. you'll have to flash us the results of your trial

What everyone else has said, I'm looking forward to the finished result....good luck.

I shall flash the results - success or failure! Could be a comedy post in the near future...
