# How to Make Bricks Out of Plaster for Interior Accent Walls
Although an interior accent wall is not a load-bearing wall, avoid using traditional drywall plaster when molding bricks for the construction of the wall. Drywall plaster will crumble and deteriorate at a faster pace than stringer plaster products, such as dental plaster. When molding bricks, visit your local home and garden center for a selection of paver brick molds you can use to create your project.
