My plaster flowers in my black and white vignette where a big hit! And I am not surprised. Seeing them again through the eye of my camera made me realize just how fun they were. And how many uses they have. Well since I had some free time on my hand yesterday I decided to go dip some more. This time I choose fake white buttercup flowers I had bought eons ago. Look how lovely and romantic they look serving as a paperweight.
And yes you all want to know how I did it, don’t you? Well even if you are not in the slightest bit interested in doing this yourself I am still going to tell you how to do it. It is my blog, and I love to teach! Get some general craft plaster. You can buy it in little tubs and is generally used to make small plaster figurines. Get yourself an old margarine or yoghurt cup. It has to be big enough to dip the flower in, but not so big that you waste a lot of plaster. Ignore the instructions on the tub with the plaster. Mix some plaster with water. Go easy, you don’t need a lot, mix it until it is slightly thicker than milk but not nearly as thick as yoghurt. Dip. You can dip anything in there. I have dipped fake flowers (obviously) but also pinecones and little branches (and little pinecones on branches). Make sure you have prepared some contraption to hang your flowers. If you lay them down to dry they will dry up flat on one side.
See this was my highly technical set up. As you can see I have dipped red roses too. I had some plaster left after the dipping of the buttercups and was looking around what else to dip (it is so fun, be warned! Hide the dog because you will be tempted to dip him too). The first dip will mainly stiffen the flower and help keep its shape. Let dry (this goes pretty fast) and dip again (and maybe repeat this a few times). You will have to make a new batch of plaster mixture each time because your old one will have become rock solid while your flowers (or dog) were drying. But if you have used a flexible plastic cup you can get that layer of plaster out and reuse your cup. When you have a fairly good coverage you can put the final touches on with a little brush, getting into the center and making sure all is nicely covered and looking a bit sculpted. And then play with them. Put them in a small vase like I did or use them as part of a table decoration like I showed you in my last How to stage a vignette post. Or you can use them to embellish a little box. Like this for example:
I painted and decorated a little box and put one of my smaller plaster roses on top.

But it doesn’t have to be white. The red roses where still showing tiny bits of red after a few dippings, but I decided I rather liked that. So I took the color a bit further
and sprinkled them with some matching glitter and made a colorful box to show them of. I think you can probably color the plaster too with some food coloring, but I haven’t tried that yet.
— This Giveaway is Closed —
Now for the giveaway. In honor of so many of you lovely people finding my blog lately I decided to give these boxes away. If you would like to have one of them just leave me a comment and tell me which one you like best, the white one or the colored one. You do not have to become a follower, tweet or Facebook this or otherwise jump through any hoops in order to enter. If you want to, you can do all of that of course, go ahead and shout this to the world, and make my day! But it is not necessary, commenting is enough. This is my gift to you my friends, I do not expect any favors in return. Anyone from anywhere can enter until Friday 26 February, and I will draw the winners during the weekend. And I promise those boxes will not be empty when I send them off to you….
Mary Ellen says
I am so glad you did a post on how to do these sweet flowers!! I just bought a 5 gallon tub of plaster for my dining room walls and think I will have to do a little dippin for crafting in it!!
The white box would go so well with the new look I hope my dining room will have one of these days! Still stripping wallpaper off-

Marianne, That is darling. I at first thought the solid white….then changed… to the peek-a-boo color. I really think they are both wonderful.
smiles, alice
annebell says
This looks like fun! Both boxes are so pretty, but I'm a total sucker for white.
Tardevil says
How you just whipped those babies up in your spare time amazes me! They are both gorgeous, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick the colored one. I don't think there are going to be any losers either way.
Esther@fleurcottage says
so simple & lovely! i'll take the white one, please! 🙂
Lisa says
Brilliant! They are so adorable…I love the white one. I think that I'll be heading to Michaels this week to purchase some plaster.
Elizabeth says
I love the white one the best!!
Pink Princess says
Joh, wat makkelijk (als je weet hoe lol) Ze zijn allebei zo mooi, dus kan niet kiezen ♥ Ik ga het zeker eens proberen. Mijn broer maakte (toen hij nog jong was) vaak van die gips figuurtjes en die waren ook leuk.
Liefs en bedankt voor de instructies ♥

Ooh…that's very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Karyn @ Candarbry Garden says
I Cannot wait for the roses to bloom this year! Thank you for showing us how to do this, I am afraid there won't be any roses in the vases this year…I would like a chance to win yours, I am a visual learner… Karyn
corry says
Lijkt me zo leuk om te doen, bedankt voor de uitleg. In plaats van gips kan je ook kaarsvet gebruiken voor een waxie uiterlijk. Ik vind allebei je dozen mooi…het is moeilijk kiezen!
Lost In Tarnation says
Thanks so much for showing how you did that! I love them!
And my favorite is the blue. They're just both stunning though!
TinyBear says
Love those flowers Marianne and your boxes too – so beautiful. I think the white one is my favorite.

Cheryl @ a pretty cool life. says
Oh how I wish I would've seen this months ago! It would have been perfect to perserve flowers from the bouquet at my sister's wedding. Super idea!
CraftyCripple says
How generous of you to spend so much time and effort making the tutorial and then to add the giveaway too! I think my favourite is the coloured box but they are both lovely.
Jeany says
ohh marian, wat leuk je tutorial, dat mot ik gelijk uitproberen. Je doosjes zijn daardoor extra prachtig geworden. Echt mooi, maar die blauwe vind ik net iets leuker. :))) beidwei, dat spul wat je boven noemt, is dat zoeits als gips? vloeibare gips? Ik kreeg het neit helemaal goed vertaald. Bedankt meid voor deze leuke log. groetjes van Janine
Miss Marple says
Ich lach me slap om jouw schrijfstijl! Hartstikke grappig, lekker melig! Zucht, en nu wil je dat ik een van die twee mooie doosjes uitkies? Ik vind ze alletwee hartstikke mooi, maar ik denk dat de witte het best bij ons thuis past…En nu je het zegt, ik heb nog een paar niet zo mooie nepbloemen liggen, in het gips zien ze er misschien veel beter uit. (En nu staat er alweer iets op mijn To Do lijstje…)
En nu duimpjes drukken, groetjes – Irma
Carte Blanche says
Die gipsen rozen zijn erg mooi en elegant als deco! Leuk dat we hier mogen meedoen aan deze give-away, waarbij ik mezelf in de grote pot gooi…

Ah–how does one pick from such beauty!!! But I think the colored one rises to the top by a very small margin, in my view. They're both just gorgeous. What a great idea–I'd love to try it. I'd love even more to receive one of these beauties!
Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~ says
Hi, I can't wait to see the rest of your blog, it looks very interesting. This is my first time here and I just know I'm going to love it.. you are so funny about having this being so addicting that you better hide the dog unless being tempted to dip the dog… I think these look fabulous and what a super great idea. I use to have quite a bit of greenery and instead of giving it away I would spray paint them with whatever color I may want as decorations for functions, parties that sort of thing, but this is just another step making things even more appealing. I would love to win the white box, so please put me in for the drawing.
I'm so am so glad I found you out-
Have a Wonderful Day*

White! But I'm not opposed to the glittered-up one either cause there's no such thing as too much sparkle. I cannot wait to try this, thank you!
guineababy says
Wow! I'm not sure which I love better. I love how clean and delicate the white box looks, but then I love the contrast of the blue (and oh! To imagine the contrast of what and hot pink or lime green!). This is something I have to be sure to try!

I tried this w/plaster of paris and made a mess! The flowers turned out looking like globs and fell apart when I touched them. I obviously messed up on this project. HELP!

Hi. I don't know if you keep track of your comments on old stuff, but I have a question for you. I think this is a cool process. My mom gets plaster of paris powder to make xmas ornaments occasionally for her craft fairs. Do you have any pics of your dipped pinecones? I am so wanting to go more and more natural (trust me, you should see my headboard on the bed) and less plasticky in my decor (ok I am am one of those anti-plastic fanatics) and would just like to see how it turned out before I go beg some p of p from my momma.

Denise Gabriel says
Thanks for sharing this. I am an art teacher and one of my students asked if we could do this. I said I would look it up on the internet and see what I could find. This is a treasure. I prefer the white. This was a great idea to ask the public, so when you go to shows you can decide what to make the most of. I also think the colored one would look good on the white box or pink on white, etc. Glad I found this.
Lori Taylor-Schulte says
Can I just say ADORABLE? Stumbled across your tutorial for plaster flowers this morning and its made my day, week, year! I actually have 2 bunches of silk roses (green and red) left over from our Carol singers Top Hat creations of last Christmas. These little beauties have been waiting patiently in a recycled berry box down in my art studio for something fun, creative and beautiful, and you’ve just provided the inspiration! Thank You!
Love the blog, love your ability to inspire without ever sounding preachy or pompous! I ADORE THAT ABOUT WHO YOU ARE!! You are a lovely teacher by the way…keep the lessons coming!
Your Adoring Student….L.T.Schulte
Pamela Poole says
These are beautiful! I can’t wait to try. How did you attach the rose to the box?
