You’ll want to cut the plaster gauze into smaller pieces. Lay down some garbage bags or a lined dropcloth, to catch any plastery drips that will inevitably fall. This is where I put in my disclaimer, to keep parents from yelling at me, after some kid comes across this and says “But Meg did this on carpet!” If you absolutely can not find a tiled/linoleum/concrete floor to do this on – or, if you’re like us and want to be able to hear the television in the living room while you’re working – make sure you do a little advance prep for the floor, as well. It’s good to do this in a place where any mess that you make (and rest assured, you will make a mess) won’t do any damage and can be easily cleaned up. For that purpose, and in an effort to make this process a little less scary for those who haven’t yet attempted it, I decided to do a longer entry here, to detail the whole process. This Sunday, however, marked our first attempt at a full head cast. Since then, Maggie and I have done several casts – for Blink Angel masks, for silly ninja half-masks, for face casts intended to build make-up sculpts off of.
RIGID WRAP PLASTER CLOTH MICHAELS MOVIE
(Then I had to quickly scrub as much plaster from my face and hair as possible, in order to make it across the street to start my first day of work at the movie theater, but that’s neither here nor there) Thus began my experience with plaster gauze. Since I was the last to go, and class had long since ended, I actually got to wait by myself in the empty black box theatre while the plaster dried. All four of us taking the class had to sit for a short casting session. (I was, by the way, the only history major taking that class). My first casting was done way back in my undergrad days, when I took a puppetry class for one of my electives.
Just saying).īy now, I’m an old hand at this method.

Occasionally they’ve got deals for free cookies. The link I’ve posted here is to the entry for (this is where I order office supplies for work.
A quick search online has turned up online markets such as Target and Kmart and Etsy. I’ve found it at Michael’s, JoAnn’s Fabrics and Crafts, Hobby Lobby, and A.C. When it dries, it forms a pretty good mold. When you get it wet, you can shape it around objects. It’s basically gauze that’s covered in plaster dust. The best material we’ve found for quick casts is Rigid Wrap. You can do a much simpler, much quicker cast using cheaper materials available in your local craft store. You don’t have to cover your whole head in the scary type of plaster that the big boys use in Hollywood. If that’s what you think about when you ponder doing a face cast, it’s no wonder you might be feeling a little panicky. The small white pieces next to the Vaseline are wonderflex – not for use in this process.
