DIY PLASTER WALL ART - 3 Easy Textured Art DIYs



Published May 20, 2023, 7:20 p.m. by Monica Louis


Looking for a fun and easy diy project to add some personality to your home? Look no further than your walls! These three diy plaster wall art projects are easy to make and add a unique, textured look to any room.

For the first project, you’ll need some plaster of Paris, water, a mixing bowl and spoon, a mold (I used a silicone ice cube tray), and acrylic paint. Mix the plaster and water together in the bowl according to the package directions. Then pour the mixture into the mold, and let it harden for at least an hour.

Once it’s hardened, pop the plaster pieces out of the mold and paint them however you like! I went for a marbleized look by mixing different colors of paint together, but you could also do a solid color or even a metallic. Let the paint dry completely before displaying your art.

For the second project, you’ll need a canvas, plaster of Paris, water, a bowl and spoon for mixing, a putty knife, and acrylic paint. Again, mix the plaster and water together in the bowl according to the package directions. Then spread the mixture onto the canvas with the putty knife, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Let the plaster dry completely, then paint it however you like! I did a gradient effect by painting the top of the canvas one color and the bottom another, but you could do whatever you want. Let the paint dry completely before displaying your artwork.

For the third project, you’ll need a frame with a glass insert, plaster of Paris, water, a bowl and spoon for mixing, a putty knife, and acrylic paint. Remove the glass from the frame, then mix the plaster and water together in the bowl according to the package directions. Spread the plaster onto the frame with the putty knife, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Let the plaster dry completely, then paint it however you like! I did a two-tone effect by painting the top half of the frame one color and the bottom half another, but you could again do whatever you want. Let the paint dry completely before reinserting the glass and displaying your artwork.

These three diy plaster wall art projects are easy to make and add a unique, textured look to any room. So get creative and have fun!

so I asked my three best friends what

role are they want me to DIY for them

and here's what they sent over

so today we are recreating dear inspo

photos using only plaster

[Music]

I'm on by the way thank you so much for

stopping by make sure to subscribe and

hit that like button so we can start

right away

for the first project Matea sent over

this info however she wanted it in a

landscape so I am using a 20 by 30 inch

canvas now first things first we are

mixing up the plaster you can absolutely

use pre-mix plaster however I like to

mix it myself so that I can play with

the consistency

foreign

by applying it to the canvas we will be

doing a few layers of plaster and the

first one should be the thinnest I'm

using a Plastering troll to scoop up and

spread the plaster to the canvas

[Music]

and now I'm going in with a brush to

make brush Strokes into the plaster and

add up some more texture you'll see me

switching up between the troll and the

brush during this whole process this is

a forgiving process however so don't be

afraid to experiment you can always wipe

it up and start all over

and now it's time for a second layer I'm

just sketching it up having the inspo

photo in mind and I'm adding small

batches of plaster to build up the

second layer

[Music]

and it's time for a third layer I'm

repeating the same thing just building

up the plaster and smoothing it out with

a troll

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

in the end I'm going in with a brush to

add up some more texture

foreign

[Music]

so make sure to build up even more

plaster

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

to make the layers pop up even more I

basically just started scrapping the

layers to just give them more depth and

this worked perfectly

foreign

I went in with the brush smoothing out

every harsh line and giving everything

more texture before leaving it to dry

overnight

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

looks perfect and now it's time to paint

it

I'm using white acrylic paint mixed with

liquid pigments I use green brown and

yellow pigment to get all of this shades

of green I'll make sure dueling

everything into the description box I'm

starting off by painting the white layer

first

next I'm painting the darkest color now

let me just say this was so tricky to

paint however acrylic paint can be wiped

off with a wet cloth so if you mess it

up you can always wipe it up and start

again just take your time and go slow

and steady

[Music]

I'm going in with the lightest green

tone to cover the top of the canvas I'm

also covering the sides

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

lastly it's time for the middle layer

this honestly took longer to paint than

it took to create the textures with the

plaster however it turns out so good so

I don't mind the process at all out of

all of the DIYs this may be the hardest

one to do in general but I made them all

in one day and painted them the next day

so trust me if I did it anyone can now

are you ready to see how it turned out

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

the second project was this art with

wavy arches that Tima sent and I was so

excited to try it out

so first I started by pouring the

plaster onto the canvas

[Music]

next I proceeded with spreading it out

evenly throughout the whole canvas and

smoothing it out this was actually the

trickiest part of it all

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

with the smoothness I quickly sketched

out where I wanted the Arches to go

before going in with this tool to create

the waves this tool is actually a

cleaner for my grill however you can

also use hair comb or a fork or anything

you can think of

foreign

[Music]

I left it to dry overnight

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

as requested I'm using this light beige

color and I'm going in with two coats to

make sure everything's fully covered

[Music]

and now let's see how it turned out

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

for the final project and believe it or

not this one was the easiest one to make

thank you

[Music]

I first started off by sketching where I

wanted my Mountain to go as in the East

for photo we are doing two layers

[Music]

[Music]

I started off with the first layer of

plaster using this small Patty knife and

this one worked perfectly for creating

those almost triangular shapes of our

Mountain

foreign

movement you can do here is just going

crisscross applying the plaster and

spreading it out in excess it's honestly

so easy to do and I loved the process

foreign

I smooth it out the bottom of the first

layer and started building up the second

layer on top repeating the same thing

[Music]

foreign

just cover everything up going

crisscross with the plaster

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

once I was satisfied I left you to dry

overnight

foreign

to paint I'm going in with this light

beige color however I'm not covering

everything instead I'm brushing the

paint leaving some of the parts to white

as on the easeful photo

foreign

the top part white you can absolutely

leave it as is however I wanted to make

it more durable so I decided to give it

one coat of white and now are you ready

to see how it turned out

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
