How to Make Crown Molding from
Plaster of Paris?
True grit meets elegance and saves money when you solve design problems by starting with
what you have around the house.
This how-to will show you how to make a piece of crown moulding to fill a gap.
Roll out a thick piece of clay and press it onto a piece of crown moulding.
Peel the clay off and straighten out minor bends.
Reinforce walls with wood pieces and/or strong plastic.
Mix plaster of Paris and pour a little in the mould.
Discard the clay and let the plaster dry until it feels dry to the touch.
Trim as needed.
Ignore any tiny air pockets for now.
Spread a thin layer of glue on all contact points.
Insert the plaster moulding into the gap without force.
Once the glue is dry, fill any air bubbles and gaps with caulking.
Once you're satisfied that the gaps and surface are seamless, prime and paint as needed.
