NOTE: Don’t you dare pour any unused plaster of Paris down your drains! You can take containers outside and rinse them out with your garden hose, or wait until the plaster has set on a container and then chip it off, but in our house we tend to use stuff that’s on its last legs, anyway–the cups that came with our take-out pizza, old paint stirrers or sticks from the yard, rinsed-out deli containers, etc.
In the same vein, don’t wash your molds until you’ve thumped off all the dried plaster around their edges. Cardboard molds can be dropped back into the recycling bin, but if you’ve cut up a recycled plastic mold so much that it no longer has its recycling number on it, you’ll likely have to toss it in your regular trash.

This is awesome. I have tons of tempera paint that I’m going to recycle into this project, which I hope works as well as the powdered. Thanks for sharing!
This post is perfect for the Monday Kid Corner Weekly Linky Party. The next party goes live Sunday morning and this week’s theme is SIDEWALK CHALK. Be sure to brush off those archives as well and link them up at http://thejennyevolution.com/category/linky-parties/monday-kid-corner/ See you there! Jennifer
Thinking of making some chalk, but also thinking that with the limited amount of time I have, I might as well just buy some. Grr, I can’t wait for my college classes to be done! One more year. One. More. Year.
But what if I reminded you that sidewalk chalk uses up toilet paper tubes? There goes the rest of your toilet paper tube hoard!
The rest of it? I plan to just send it all to you :0)
