Plaster Hands

HERE is where I saw this fun, simple sculpture.

Supplies:

plaster a paris

disposable container

twist tie, yarn or rubber band

latex gloves (Dollar Tree has small packages)
tempera or acrylic paint

mod-podge or other sealant

Instructions:

1. Mix plaster a paris in disposable container. (Approximately, 2 cups of plaster fills a glove)

2. Dump into glove and tie glove closed

3. Find a way to rest glove so it dries how you desire. (24 hours to dry)

4. Peel off glove and paint.

5. Let paint dry then seal.

Tips:

* This is a good way to use left over plaster a paris from other projects.

* You can challenge kids to make the hands into different letters using sign language.
* I rested my glove flat with the bottom against the wall for a flat bottom.
* You can sand the bottom flat if it is a little rough.
