Baby Casting Kit to Make 3D Hand and Foot Plaster Casts by BabyRice (Pewter)

Product Information

Top Tip: Take care when handling the damp plaster cast - the surface is delicate and the replicated fine skin details can be lost if the plaster cast is handled too harshly. For impressions, we use a very soft terracotta clay, It is pain free and takes literally seconds to do. We recommend casting from 3-4 weeks old for impressions. Often parents would like to cast a slightly older child's hand or foot but often the frames supplied are only deep enough for a very small baby. Now you have made your baby's foot mould, the next step is to fill it with plaster. You should do this right away after making your mould, as the alginate mould will start to break down after about 20 minutes or so - the alginate becomes unstable and more watery. By putting in the plaster straight away, the alginate mould will retain those fine lines and wrinkles that have been captured.

Professional hand and feet casting involves crafting molds of the model's hands and feet. Alginate and clay are commonly used materials for this purpose. The mold is allowed to cure before delicately removing it from the model's hands and feet. Before proceeding to the casting step, it's crucial to inspect the molds for any defects or holes. Using the correct hand-casting materials is paramount to achieve the best results. From the mould and intricate detail of each hand and foot cast to the top quality styling and frame choices, When looked after, your final unique keepsake will stand the test of time.
