Make Your Own Giant Sidewalk Chalk

During the lockdown, the sidewalks in my neighborhood turned into a colorful gallery of encouraging slogans and artwork by kids organized online by the local library. Sidewalk chalk is great for trying your hand at public art, political slogans, graffiti, or hopscotch, since it will wash off as soon as the rain comes, or even sooner with a garden hose if you mess up. But your tools may also tend to get lost or crushed. You'll have no such problems when your sidewalk chalk is as big as a Pringle's can! And you can make these chalk sticks yourself with some plaster, tempera paint, water, and Pringle's cans (yeah, I said they were that big). Find the recipe for homemade giant chalk at Instructables.  -via Nag on the Lake

This is very cool and I'm wondering if a paper towel roll would work. Perhaps you need the finish of a Pringles can to hold the paste while it cures. . .
