Bump Casting Kit for Creating a 3D Model Keepsake of Pregnant Belly

Cast Your Bump in an Afternoon: Twenty minutes of plaster on the belly, and the shape of your pregnancy is yours to keep. Cut the bandage into strips, dip them in lukewarm water, layer them over the bump, then lift away a hollow shell of your own shape. Cast It While the Bump Is at Its Fullest: Around 30 to 38 weeks is the sweet spot, when the shape is round and unmistakably yours. What we hear most is from people who left it until the last fortnight and never got the chance. Pick your evening early. Planning a Baby Shower? Reaching round your own bump is the awkward part, and most people make it a two-person job. Partners, older children and guests all join in the layering, and afterwards everyone can sign the dry cast instead of a guest book. Three Layers, and No Craft Experience Needed: One or two layers flex and sag when you lift them off. Overlap three, as the illustrated steps show, and the cast holds its shape and takes paint properly. Every stage is measured for you, start to finish. Six Paints and a Brush from Chuckle: We put a six colour paint set and brush in the box, so once the cast is dry you can add flowers, a name or a date. Contains small parts, not for under 3s, adult supervision advised. Then it earns the nursery shelf.
