You can make Plaster of Paris with two simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen.
Things You Will Need
-
In a mixing bowl combine one cup of warm water for every two cups of flour.

Mix the flour and water until there are no lumps remaining. The finished paste should be smooth and creamy.
-
Bring your Plaster of Paris to where you will be working immediately so it will not cool down.
