DIY craftwork with gypsum

Posted onAuthorAlyLeave a comment

Hello friends

Few day ago I made my newborn girl party favor and as, happen sometimes, there was some remaining material. In this specific case there was some leftover gypsum, so today I decided to use some of it and make new craftwork for decorate my home.

Vediamo cosa ho combinato.

DIY small object collector
For this project you need:

  • Gypsum and water;
  • a bowl for mixing gypsum and water;
  • Freezer bag;
  • a small dish.

The process for making the small object collector is quiete easy: in a bowl I mixed one part of gypsum and two part of water and I put the mixture inside the freezer bag. I pull off the exceeded air from the bag and I close it carefully. After few minutes I push a small dish in the freezer bag for creating a kind of dip.

I let the mixture dry for at least 2 hours. I removed the freezer bag, my DIY small object collector is ready. If you want to decorate it I suggest tu use spray paint.

Here my result.

Cupcake candle holder
For this special candle holder you need

  • Gypsum and water;
  • a bowl for mixing gypsum and water;
  • a small candle;
  • paper made cupcake cups;
  • optional essential oil and food coloring;
  • a cupcake mold.

As usual I mixed gypsum and water and few drops of essential oil (optional) and some food coloring (optional as well). I put the mixture inside the cupcake cup and after few minutes I push inside a small candle for making a perfect candle hole.

I let it dry for a couple of hours and that’s it it’s done! You can decorate if if you want, but I guess I leave mine it in the paper cupcake cup.

Modified ambient freshener 
Using plastic mold for cake design, I decided to modify a simple ambient freshener with sticks. So I decided to apply on it some chalks. In this way the fragrance will be amplified.

For this craftwork you need:

  • Gypsum and water;
  • Molds;
  • An ambient freshener with sticks.

The procedure was the same, I mixed one part of gypsum and two part of water and I filled the mold with the mixture. I puto on it a piece of stick for creating a hole in which I gonna put the freshener sticks. I let it dry for one hour.

I removed the chalks from the mold and I removed the stick from it. With a drop of hot glue I pasted the freshener stick on the beyond of the chalk and that was all. Here my result.
