Plaster Craft Requirements
The plaster craft honor isn't difficult but if you don't plan ahead it could be time consuming, since each Pathfinder must paint five different items, make enough items ahead of time for the number of Pathfinders that will be earning the honor. When you teach the honor have each Pathfinder pour the molds for a couple of items then use those items the next time you teach the honor.
Since it could expensive to purchase a lot of different molds, get together with other clubs in your area or conference to see what molds they might have then share the different molds.
Use candy molds to make small refrigerator magnets. For example use the Sports Lollipop candy mold. Boys might like the football, basket ball, soccer and baseballs to paint. Candy molds could also work great for making small Christmas ornaments.
Paper clips can be inserted into the wet plaster to make either wall hooks or hanging hooks for ornaments. Hooks don't need to be used when the item will be used as a magnet.
Below are links to websites where molds can be purchased. There are also ideas that can be used for painting the crafts.
