Step 3Mix and Pour
My method of mixing the plaster involved pouring some water into an old cup and hand scoop the plaster until it "looks good." You could measure out a 2:1 plaster to water ratio, but that would take out some of the fun.
After the plaster looks good, add the food coloring. You can skip this step if you are going to paint the heart instead. I like the food coloring because you can keep the texture of the plaster, which reminds me of a conversation heart.
Pour the mold. Remember to tape the USB drive up or the circuit will short ; that is very important. The plaster dries darker than it is when it is wet.
