One unusual ingredient in our DIY chalk recipe is plaster of paris... you can find it HERE!

If you want an alternative, you can replace plaster of paris with cornstarch. It will be a bit less sturdy, and you'll want to stick the molds in the freezer to solidify. But it works in a pinch!

Happy making!
