How to make plaster of mallow

You will need:

-1kg of marshmallows. Good luck for your weighing!

-A saucepan. Use one you're particularly fond of. It's much much better that way.

-Your favorite metal spatula.

-Stretchy wire cords. Not springs. Definitely not.

-A hammer. Unless you have something that can saw through metal. But you wouldn't want to destroy your favorite pan. Use the hammer!

-A metal rectangular pan with high sides. You'll need to drill holes in the sides- the same diameter as that of the wire cord. You'll need two wire cords, so thats four holes, two one each short end of the pan. Like this:
                                                _______________
                                                i                            i
                                                !______________!
The dots are holes. Just the dots. The gaps are just bits I couldn't fill in without doing the diagram on sketch up.                                    

Method: Melt marshmallows in pan, stirring very slowly and constantly. Be sure to get ALL the air out. Don't boil it. Well, you can if you want to, but we've never tried it. Yet. ( It might blow up. We wouldn't boil it, if we were you)
Before the marshmallows start condensing or solidifying, pour in the pan (which you have already strung the cords through. The cords go through across the pan, by the way. Longways) when all the mixture is in the pan, stretch the wire cords. Alot. Tie them up somehow. Then, place the entire thing in the fridge. Leave for a day. Then, have fun.
Cleaning up.
