Replicating body parts in plaster

Step 3Prepare your container for casting

Prepare your container for casting
Once you have decided what you're going to cast, you have to figure out how to cast it.

If you're casting something that you are capable of sticking into a bucket (i.e. a hand, foot or elbow), then all you need to do is find a container slightly bigger than the part you are trying to cast.

If you're casting something like a boob or a belly button, then you have to find a container that will fit nicely over the entire area of the body part.

For my first cast, I tried using an old yogurt container that was cut in half (below). This container cut off part of the breast. So I tried again by cutting in half a two-gallon water container and that was more than large enough to cast the body part (not shown).
