  • Pour Colored Plaster solution into mold.
  • Use Straight Edge to level plaster on back side of form
  • Clean,
    Straight Edge, Plastic Mixing Container, Mixing Rod

When you are ready mix up the plaster - making sure to do this rather quickly and not being afraid to have the mix somewhat runny. In this case mine was a bit thick so I had to work fast. The reason you want the mix runny is so it will easily fill all the space and leave no large bubbles anywhere. Then I use a straight edge to level off the mix so the bottom will be flat when the plaster hardens. At this point while the mold is hardening clean your containers etc. It is much easier before the plaster fully sets to clean than after in some cases.. Let your mold set for at least 10-15 minutes before proceeding. But many of these next steps are better done before the mold completely hardens and dries.


Also if you wish to purchase a Terrarium premade don't hesitate to e-mail me.
The cost will be approximately $0.20/inch**2 + shipping.
