I’m trying figure out how to make a gemstone tree but the base needs some weight to it so it doesn’t fall over for my mini trees now I’m wonder if I buy a silicone mold for the base can I use plaster will it come out the mold ? And we can paint it etc to give the mo ur tree more realistic look
Hi! Hmm I'm trying to visualize your project! It sounds awesome! 😁 Plaster is very light weight so it might now work if you are looking for a heavy base to hold something up. Did you want to send me a visual of your trees or a drawing and I might be able to help think of a different base? Are you able to glue the trees to something?
Hi Shelli, you could use cement but you may have a rougher surface to work on. Typically if I'm putting these outside I coat them with a layer of resin after I finish painting them this gives it weather protection 😊
Oh my god I neeeed these I have only ever found a perfect stone once!!!!
Haha right?! This makes life so much easier when you can just create exactly what you want! 😁
Thanks for the demonstration. Do you do prepare the mold before adding the liquid?
Hi! No the silicone is great for not sticking so the plaster pops right out! 😁
Did you have to base coat with something specific? I bought the same brand but its called perfect plaster for pottery and ceramics
The diamond one would be great to pour the prisme in
You are so right! I'll have to try that 😁

If you want to put them outside in your garden wont the rain make them deteriorate ? Would putting cement in them instead keep them solid.?

Did you ever do a painting on the diamond shape? I love the shape but as a newbie can't think how dotting on all the facets would turn out
Hi Sheila, haha not yet! I am having the same dilemma as to how to paint it well with a unique design, if I paint it I will let you know 😊
What kind of plaster is being used??
Hi Lori! I have the name of the plaster in the description below the video along with a link to it on Amazon 😁
Can you mix plaster of paris with stone powder?
Hi! I haven't done it but I would think they are a very similar gypsum type product and might work 😊 sounds like a great experiment! 😉😁
Merci !! 🙏🙏🌸
You are most welcome! 💕🤗
