How to Make Book Stoppers

The theme of the tutorial is a stopper for books with your own hands.

To make two letters you will need:

  • gypsum;
  • water;
  • cardboard;
  • paper;
  • tape;
  • scissors;
  • office knife;
  • glue gun;
  • pencil;
  • ruler;
  • sandpaper;
  • bucket;
  • gauze or cotton fabric;
  • paints.

Do not forget that gypsum is a very (very-very) difficult material to work with, as the process of hardening takes about 6 minutes. In this regard, you should always remember:

  1. Before dissolving gypsum prepare everything!
  2. If there are irregularities or holes, they can always be either sanded or primed with gypsum.

Most importantly, I forgot to mention this in the video, before painting the surface must be degreased, this can be done, for example, with acetone.
