Creating the impressions is easy when you know how and you have the right stuff.
The kit contains the following items:
2kg Clay - you can't take the imprints without this. This is enough to take 2 or 3 double impressions - 2 hands and 2 feet and maybe a 1hand/1foot impression too depending on the size of the child's hands and feet.
Instructional CD - complete step by step instructions with photos so you'll know exactly what to do. The CD also contain links to the video tutorials
Sanding pad - for giving the dried cast a light sand and smoothing the edges
Foam brush - for painting
Paint - it's obvious isn't it
Varnish - to seal and give a nice gloss to the finished cast
Ribbon - to hang the finished cast
Here's a brief overview of the impression process:
Roll out the clay
Take the impressions
Trim clay to the size that you want the cast to be
Allow the cast to dry - it will take a few days or maybe a week - depends on the weather
Sand lightly and smooth edges
Paint, paint and maybe paint again
Varnish and varnish again if you want to
Allow to dry
If you're framing, glue cast to mountboard and allow glue to set for a couple of days
Enjoy your creation/s
