Instructions
Put on a pair of plastic gloves. Then get yourself a pair of safety goggles to protect your eyes from the plaster dust. Put them on before opening the plaster of Paris.
Open the bag of plaster of Paris. You may need a pair of scissors for this. Measure out four cups of plaster of Paris and place it in an old plastic container. You will not be able to use this container again for food.
Add two cups of water to the bowl, and mix everything together.
Pour the plaster into an aluminum pie tin. This makes for an excellent mold. Plus you can easily throw away the aluminum pie tin when you are done.
Set your dog's paw in the plaster and press it down for two to three seconds.
Remove your dog's paw and wash it off.
Set the plaster aside for 24 hours. Then remove the aluminum pie tin and your plaster paw print will be finished.
