Pearhead Belly Casting Kit, Pregnancy Keepsake Making Kit, Easy DIY Plaster Cast Baby Bump Keepsake, Baby Gift For Expecting Moms and Ideal Nursery Decor, White

This was a lot of fun to make. The instructions were simple and everything was included.The final product was durable enough to hold our baby.

Very easy to use and came out great! Here's a few tips I learned in the process...1. Less water will make it dry quicker.2. If you choose to do breasts and want more support, you can use a bra, saran wrap, or lift your hands above your arms (just work quickly if you this method). Your bra can be washed but might not be quite the same so don't use your favorite one.3. Dont put plaster water down the drain. If it gets on your clothes, let it dry and pick most of it off before washing.4. Save a roll (or more) of the plaster gauze. After 1 day of letting it dry, lightly sand, trim edges, and do touch ups. You can see where it is very thin by holding it up to the light and also by feeling where it is less sturdy. Also cut some strips the long way for the edges of the cast. This is important!!5. For tight areas like under the breasts, cut strips in half the long way.Have fun!!

The cast kit was easy to use!Step 1: cut the strips - large strips for the main part of your belly, medium strips for the top and bottom of your belly and short strips for your breasts (I’m 5’ tall, 33 weeks pregnant, 168 LBs and had 1.5 rolls left over if that helps)Step 2: pour warm water in a medium to large size container and lay out the plastic sheet on the groundStep 3: VASELINE THE AREASYOU'LL BE COVERING BEFORE APPLICATION!!!STEP 4: sit somewhere comfortable - you’ll be there for about an hour!start with putting strips on the belly then work your way up to your boobs.Entire process takes about 1hr & 10min including cutting the strips and drying on your body before it’s hard enough to take it offSTEP 5: let dry for 24 hoursSTEP 6: cut, trim, sand it down to your likingSTEP 7: decorate if you choose to and enjoy!

This is really great for making memories and you also have a reason to bond with your significant other. It works very well and we did not have a problem doing so. It can get messy, so having something to catch whatever falls would be recommended. My kid is now 4 years old and I still have my pregnant belly mold in perfect shape.

Cast was very easy to work with and very messy,we did ours in the hospital and workers weren’t so happy.. loved it tho..

Ame usar esto mi barriga quedará muchos años siempre que la cuide bien

This kit was awesome!! It came with plenty of plaster rolls I was able to do 3 layers with 2 rolls leftover. It was so easy I did it all by myself. Dried super fast. Highly recommend. I can't wait to paint it!

My family had a good time doing this together. Our 7yo was especially excited and into it, our 3yo was excited too, but she’s 3. We are not very cratfty or artistic people and we pulled it off pretty well I think. A couple tips: dip the strip and get it to the belly quickly, you don’t want it to be soaking in the water because the plaster becomes unevenly distributed and it’s harder to make it smooth. I wore a bra and it worked just fine, but check out pictures on Instagram of #bellycasting first to see how others handled it more artistically at the bra. I wouldn’t have changed the bra part (because this is my 3rd and my boobs are huge and saggy and I wanted them lifted a bit for the cast 🤷🏻‍♀️), but I would have shaped the strips a bit differently on my bra. Lastly, we used olive oil instead of the petroleum jelly it comes with and it was perfect. Fun family bonding activity and we have a memory of my sweet bump!
