How to make chalk mountains for Nativity Scene

I show you how to make mountains with cheap and recycled materials.
You can use them, for example, in a Nativity Scene.
The white powder used is called also "plaster of paris" or "plaster" or "gypsum" or "Scagliola".

I'm pretty sure the "chalk" is another translation for plaster of paris

@tcook202

Yes, probably "plaster of paris" or "plasters" or "gypsum" are better words for indicate the white powder used in the video.

Unfortunately, at time I make the video, the translators was not very good.

Where did you buy the Chalk powder? Plz help me to find it

[Franx69]

I bought the chalk powder in a shop of building materials.

Probably you can find it also in a hardware shop.

That's great! I am gonna do this project for this Christmas! Today I went to Hobby Lobby to look for "non-woven textile" and the girl working in the fabric department did not have a clue of what that was, until she showed me "fusible interfacing" and that was actually the kind of fabric I needed.

Also, they do not sell chalk bags at the Home Depot like the one you have (I wonder where you found it though!). They sell bottles of "line chalk" for around $1.00 and they work perfectly. Great job!
