Sorry to read previous review as I think these plaster of paris mould sets are great (unlike shaker maker which was a messy waste of time). Add a little water to the bag of plaster of paris, mix, pour into moulds (you can add a magnet when its just starting to thicken), leave to set for a few hours, carefully pop out of the mould,(the fairies should be hard and shiny) and then use the paints to decorate.

There are two bags of plaster included so you can make another batch of fairies another time.

My five and 10 year old love them and enjoy giving them to gran or whoever afterwards.

Glitter? Fairies? What’s not to like if you’re a young girl?? I got this for my niece and it was reported back that she had hours of fun with this kit.

I bought the Mould & Paint Glitter Fairy for my god-daughter for her 7th birthday. She was delighted with it and has achieved fantastic results and now I am a proud owner of a Glitter Fairy fridge magnet.

This is a great set! I bought this after warily reading the review where someone said it would be better as a bin filler and I was pleasantly surprised. My 8 year old daughter absolutely loves it. I put the water in all at once by accident though, so took about 2hours to dry instead of 30 mins! We now have two glitter fairies on the fridge. Another broke because the plaster was too thin (1 pack of plaster fills up 4 and a half moulds) The trick with the magnets is to let the plaster dry completely before attempting to stick them on – as we found after one fell off with bits of not-quite-dry plaster stuck to it. My only complaint is really that the paint colours are not diverse enough, meaning that there was a pink, blue, yellow, white and purple. In my experience with paints it is much better to have all primary colours that you can mix on a separate palette, as we could not make red, a proper orange, brown or black which was quite frustrating. Other than that, it’s brilliant.

…am making it my life’s work to deter you from buying these products. We’ve had ‘em all over the years and I still haven’t been able to create anything that looks like a fairy for my children to paint. My most recent effort looked like a dried lumpy ball of badly mixed plaster of paris which coincidentally was exactly what it was. If they were to bring out a product called “Mould and Paint Dried Lumpy Ball of Badly Mixed Plaster of Paris”, I would have to give it five stars. The paints have lasted a long time but only because we’ve never had occasion to use them.

At this price, some might describe the product as a “stocking filler”. Well, you fill a stocking with plaster of paris and you might end up with something more closely resembling a fairy than I’ve ever managed to produce. In my experience, “bin filler” is more appropriate.
