  • 2 C. Water
  • 2 C. Plaster of Paris
  • 2 Tbl Tempera Paint (Wet or Dry)
  • Toilet Paper Tubes

Prepare paper tubes by covering one end with duct tape, making sure it is sealed.  Combine water, plaster of paris and tempera paint and stir together.  If desired, divide mixture among several containers and add different colors of paint.  Let stand a few minutes. Place tubes on cookie sheet lined with foil or wax paper. Pour mixture into holders, let stand until semi-firm. Remove holders and let dry completely – ready to use in about 1 to 1 ½ hrs. Note:  Never pour plaster down sink.
