A pregnancy belly cast kit enables an expecting mom to create a lasting memory of her pregnancy in minutes that will be treasured for a lifetime. No mixing of messy materials is required; it is as simple as 1-2-3! The end result is a perfect 3D memento of mom's beautiful pregnant form. To make a belly cast, you simply cut the casting material into strips, dip them in water one at a time and apply them to mom's skin in overlapping layers. Then allow it to dry for approximately 10 minutes and gently remove. All you need to provide is a pair of scissors and a basin of water. A belly cast is usually made 4-6 weeks before a mom's due date, but a mom could also make multiple belly casts to capture the miraculous changes in her body during her pregnancy. Once a belly cast is made, it can be left as is for a simple, yet elegant look, or it can be decorated in any way imaginable. These pregnancy belly cast kits have been featured on national TV: Fox & Friends, The View, LIVE with Regis & Kelly and A Baby Story. The do-it-yourself kit contains five rolls (each roll is 4 inches wide by 5 yards long) of premium-quality, extra-creamy artist's casting material; all-natural lubricant; pair of nitrile (safe alternative to latex) gloves; plastic drop cloth; sanding screen; easy-to-follow instructions written in English, Spanish and French; and large fold-out color sheet with hundreds of decorating ideas.

WE LOVED IT...

"The kit itself was easy to use. You do need a couple of hands to help you out. One thing i can say is make sure you cover yourself in vaseline/lube they give you. If not it will hurt coming off where ever you didnt lubricate right.(It happened to me). But all in all we loved. It's in the process of being painted as a Monkey. I will reccomend this product to everyone. Oh, by the way its messy. But its worth ..." Read Full Review »

Nice Concept, but lacking...

"The product overall is a nice concept, but lacked a few of things. The instructions said there should be a sander provided for me to smooth the plaster after it hardened and there wasn't one in the box. It says "do-it-yourself," but I needed someone to help me. I enlisted my husband. It also said to get a chair so the pregnant mommy can sit to be more comfortable. Be prepared to stand the entire time, appr..." Read Full Review »
