How to Make Floral Fridge Magnets

What You Need

• Plaster of Paris
• Assorted Small Cavity Flower Silicone Moulds
• Acrylic Craft Paints and Paint Brushes
• Craft Magnets
• Craft Glue

Method

Measure out 25g of Plaster of Paris for each silicone mould you are going to fill, then add 10% for wastage.

Prepare the Plaster of Paris as per the packet instructions and fill your silicone moulds to the half way point (it doesn’t have to be perfect, just eyeball it).

Set your plaster-filled moulds aside to set.

When the plaster is dry, peel back the silicone moulds to release your plaster flowers.

Paint and decorate your plaster flowers as desired and then glue a craft magnet to the back of each flower.

Give the glue at least 24 hours to harden and then you can stick your floral plaster magnets to your fridge.
