Here is a recipe for treasure stones I found online: 1 cup flour,1 cup used coffee grinds,1/2 cup salt,1/4 cup sand,3/4 cup water. Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Slowly add water and knead until the mixture is the consistency of bread dough. Break off a piece of dough and roll it into the size of a baseball. Make a hole in the center of the ball big enough to hide treasures in. Fill the hole with treasures and seal with some extra dough. Let your Treasure Stone air-dry for 2-3 days or until hard, or bake in the oven on a cookie sheet at 150 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You can also add 1 Tbs of powdered tempera paint to tint your Treasure Stones different colors. You could also soak newspaper pieces in watered down Plaster of Paris and shape it into your forms. Forms must be hollow. Hope this helps Lura, also please join us at the plastercraft Forum
