Learn how to make easy bricks that only look advanced for your dollhouse or miniature project. This method is fun and requires only basic tools and cheap paint.
*During the coloring process, I misspoke. I said I mixed one part red, one part yellow, two parts raw umber. Rather than raw umber, I meant to say raw sienna.

Plaster Ratio:
I used DAP Plaster of Paris. It calls for a 2:1 ratio of plaster to water. I replace 20% of the water with PVA glue (Elmer's). That works out to a 4:1 ratio of water to glue.
I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

The holes in the brick, allow moisture to wick out. Moisture can penetrate the brick, and weep down to the bottom. And evaporate out. Otherwise, the wall will degrade, and it can rott the inner wall.

2 things about working with plaster of paris: to spell setting of plaster, add salt to the mix, very sparingly. To slow setting, add vinegar, again, sparingly.

Absolutely Fantastic. This will definitely be my "go to" video for making bricks and whenever i need to age or weather a surface. Obviously different surfaces will require different steps and materials but i feel you also gave tips to keep in mind during the aging process. Weathering has always been difficult for me but I feel much more confident now after watching you work. Thanks for sharing.
