Luna Bean DELUXE BABY CASTING KIT Infant Foot Hand 3D Handprint Footprint Molds

Product Details:

Cast both of baby’s hands, both feet, baby’s bottom & more!

This kit contains the materials and instructions for 7 castings: 3 hand castings (with or without an integrated base), 3 foot castings and 1 cast of baby’s bottom (which instead could be used to create another hand or foot casting).     

Finish Choices: (listed in the order shown in the feet picture below) unfinished (for comparison), clear semi-matte sealant, clear glaze, pearl or bronze.  NOTE: CLEAR MATTE is the default finish included.  If you would like one of the others, just include a note at checkout with your payment (and please note that if the change request is not made in this exact way, it may be missed).

Overall, the materials will accommodate a foot up to about an infant shoe size 3 (the average age for this is 9 months) and/or an infant hand up to about age 12 months. However, every child is different and if you are unsure, measure the baby’s foot. (The foot casting tray is about 5 inches long and you want to have a little wiggle room.)

ITEMS INCLUDED:    – 7 bags of nontoxic, hypo-allergenic molding powder in 2 sizes  – 7 bags of casting stone  – 6 reusable molding containers in 3 different shapes/sizes – mixing spoons & sticks – disposable stone transfer pippette – 2 paint brushes & mate clear sealant (unless another is requested) – sanding papers & detailing pin – hole punch & ribbon (for baby bottom)  -complete instructions    How is a 3D casting made?  Mix the molding powder (cool setting, nontoxic & non allergenic) with water and insert the foot or hand (or dip baby bottom).  Hold baby’s foot or hand in ther material for about 45-60 seconds.  Wiggling is not a problem as long as your child’s foot or hand remains submerged in the molding material until it sets.  Remove foot, hand, or bottom leaving behind a negative 3D mold. That mold is then filled with casting stone.  Once hardened, the molding material is peeled away to reveal the stone staue. Note: Your child never comes into contact with casting stone.  General Photo Instructions Finish Choices: (Some sort of finish is recommended to keep out dirt and oil, etc.) The clear glaze is a water based triple-thick formula that goes on smoothly with no brush strokes and usually requires only 1 thin coat. It lends a bright, clear coating that gives the illusion of depth and creates a glazed ceramic look. The clear semi-matte sealant is water-based, goes on white and dries to a clear semi-matte finish. It can also be applied over other paints.  The paints are nontoxic metallic acrylics that are especially designed for bisques, ceramics and plasters. Other items you will need (not included): bowl for mixing casting stone,  liquid measuring cup and mixing spoon Optional Items: permanent marker for monogramming, clear coat varnish finish to go over paints (recommended if the statue will be handled a lot)
