When my son was born I saw these casts of a baby's hands and feet in a case on the hospital wall and thought they looked great. Preferring not to pay a 'professional', I decided to try a DIY job and I must say I am really pleased with the results. I got the kit when he was a couple of months old, but didn't get round to using it till he was 5 months old, so the bags and cups suppled to do the casts were I thought a bit too small, so I used a margarine tub as suggested in the instructions and it worked well.
The instructions looked a little complicated at first, but actually its very easy to do. Use ratio 1:1 of alginate powder to water and mix quickly. Pour round the baby's hand/foot and wait for 60 seconds and then wiggle the limb free from the mold. Tip: work quickly, but don't panic. Plus you need two people, one to hold the baby still and the other to do the casting. Mix up the plaster paris and pour in. When set, carefully break the mould away and then paint the cast when dry. Looks great!
There is enough mixture for at least 12 casts as advertised, but the longer you leave it, the bigger the baby's limbs become so you may get less.
Good value for money in my opinion!

I bought this with the intention of making a series of casts to send to the grandmothers as a Mother's Day present. The process is pretty straight forward but requires a high degree of precision. It's essentially a two step process: you mix up the alginate in a 1:1 ratio with room temperature water (I used a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature of the water), then you fill in the mould with plaster. The mould is made with alginate, a compound that when mixed with water quickly hardens to a rubbery consistency, kinda like really firm jelly. I had no problem to getting the baby's foot out of the mould once it had set. I had to throw away the first alginate batch because I stirred it for too long and between the kitchen counter and getting to the baby sitting at the kitchen table it had gone solid. The difference between "just right" and "too long" is about 10-20 seconds. This is good if you can time it perfectly because the baby doesn't have time to wiggle too much and you can get a great cast. With the second batch of alginate, we erred on the side of putting his foot in too early and had about 30 seconds of a wiggly baby foot splashing around in the liquid before it set. The cast came out well, with lots of detail but unfortunately his big toe was pressed against the side of the container we used and the cast wasn't useable. You need a minimum of two people to create the alginate moulds, one to hold the baby and the other to do all the measuring and mixing. If you want to do multiple casts you might want to do it over a few days because you'll probably only be able to make 1 or 2 casts in each session.
The kit arrived in a sturdy white box with a silver ribbon and would make a nice gift for an ambitiously crafty new parent.

The instructions for this kit are very clear and well presented. You definitely need two people to make the mould - one to hold baby and one to attempt to pour the moulding liquid into place. The only down side is the powder which you have to mix up to make the mould, which I found quite difficult to remove all the lumps from. Make sure you mix it in a really large bowl so you have space to give it a good stir to try to remove lumps. I didn't first time and the cast made it look like I had a rather lumpy baby! Compared to the other kits out there which only give you enough for a couple of casts this is unbeatable value, which is very useful given that it takes a couple of goes to get the hang of it!

Could not get past the first stage. After half a dozen unsuccessful attempts to mix the stuff I chucked the lot. Absolute waste of money.
