How to make scented chalks SUBMEET Association ITALY Promotion of Educational Services Through E-learning Material
WHAT WE NEED - gypsum powder- molds- a container dedicated to this purpose. You can use a plastic cup, an old glass jar, or an empty yogurt pot of half a kg or 1kg, or the hardware sell bowls to mix the gypsum- a wooden pallet- essential oil- water
Put 4 tablespoons of chalk powder in the glass. With this dose I can fill a 10-piece chocolate mold, but a lot depends on the size of the mold you have.Now you have to start pouring the water into the plaster (using a bottle or a graduated pitcher), stirring with the wooden scoop.
Stir well with the wooden scoop without slamming: you do not have to incorporate air, otherwise the chalk will come out with bubbles.The scented essence can be added in two ways: either directly into the water, or into the goblet. Then pour 8-10 drops of essence into the gypsum mixture.
Once the right consistency is achieved, you will need to be quick to pour the plaster into the molds before it starts to thicken. Help yourself with the scoop to clean the edges of the glass well and let all the gypsum out.
Let it rest. After a couple of hours you can change the plaster casts: if they have a color that tends to gray it is because they are not yet completely dry, so it will be enough to let them rest another hour or two. If you find that they smell too little, put another couple of drops of essence on the back of each one. SUBMEET Association ITALY Promotion of Educational Services Through E-learning Material
