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.

What if they’re hungry? No worries. Bring plenty of milk… there is no rushing and the baby’s needs always come first. You’re welcome to feed your baby by whatever methods you choose while here, and you are the only people here in the studio – make yourself at home. If babies are a little older and weaned, bring them something they really enjoy that will distract their attention. If you have received a gift experience, it is time to begin your Impressive journey to creating your baby hand & foot casts. All casts begin as alginate. This material is used by dentists when taking a mould of your teeth is very safe. This means that is it is very safe to use on your baby too. Precious plaster is then poured into the alginate to set and create a cast. The cast looks fantastic in a frame complimented with a memorable photo. Ta-da! And there you have your perfect little 3D replica cast of your baby's foot. Now you have created your first baby cast, you can start on making your baby's hand cast when you are ready.

Before you pour the plaster into the mould, tap the sides of the mixing bowl to bring any air bubbles in the plaster mix up to the top. A 3D mould takes approximately 2 minutes for each hand and foot and is entirely safe, your baby/child will have their hands or feet dipped into a warm mixture which then becomes firm (but flexible), after a minute or two the hand/foot can easily slide out – which incidentally comes out clean.
