Luna Bean Baby Casting Kit - Hand & Foot Keepsake Mold, 2pc, New Mom Gift

Easy to follow instructions. Easy assembly. Easy cleanup. Adorable finished mold. Definitely do it while baby is asleep or if baby is calm and doesn't like to play in water. Wait until the mold is getting grey, almost fully grey, then dip. If you do it right when it starts turning grey you have to sit longer and that makes it hard to keep baby still. Quality of mold is good. Great for new parents. Easy to remove from babies skin.

Great memory makers-They were so cute I had to make 2 sets! The completed sets were perfect size (I guess it depends on the child) but the mold materials had more than enough to make no matter what the size of your child is. Great value for the money since you get a hand and a foot. Honestly, instead of doing a hand and a foot , you could always do 2 hands or 2 feet depending on your preference. Easy to use and fun to make!

I’m so glad we decided to make this keepsake while our baby was still tiny. The Luna Bean hand and foot casting kit captured so many little details — even the tiny wrinkles and fingernails. The instructions were easy to follow overall, and the final result turned out incredibly sentimental and special. The molding material set quickly and picked up detail better than I expected. I also appreciated that there was enough material included to retry if needed, which definitely helped take some of the pressure off when working with a wiggly baby. The finished casts look beautiful displayed in our home and feel like something we’ll treasure forever. This would make such a meaningful gift for new parents or baby showers. Definitely worth it for the memories alone.

I bought these while I was pregnant and was worried it would be difficult to use but it’s not bad! I was recommend to do it when your baby is asleep so it’s easier. Directions are straightforward and easy to follow. It’s a great keepsake!

I had to order it twice to get it right. This is not easy to do and you need a lot of patience and a very compliant/sleeping baby. The first time, we followed the instructions and it came out horrible. Second time, I did it by myself and it was hard to do it without help but it came out good. My baby was 4 months, knocked out the second time, and she woke up mid way between each mold then fell back asleep. First time we did it, she was 2.5/3 months and wiggly so it was tough. I think no matter what, you’ll probably get some bubbles in the mold. Depending on how the baby folds their hands, you’ll likely get the jelly part of the mold stuck in the cast. The sand paper is helpful but needs to be more heavy duty if you need to fix blemishes. The gold is like a very light gold and the silver is basically white and hard to see against the white mold. I bought metallic copper spray paint so it can be closer to my baby’s complexion, but I could’ve also done a metallic gold or silver and it would’ve looked just as beautiful. The pictures of the white mold is our first try and the picture of the brown mold in the casing is our second try and first so product. Overall, I think this is worth it as a keepsake. I intend to display it then put it in a keepsake trunk of sentimental items for my baby to have and cherish forever.

I did three of these in one night, and have a few tips for ya: 1. The first mix sets REALLY fast. We ended up having to chuck the first cup because it got chunky while we were still mixing. Mix faster than you think you need to, tap it on the counter a few times to disperse bubbles, and get that baby's hand/foot in there quick! 2. Set about a tablespoon of the casting powder aside for later. 3. Once the hand/foot has been taken out, mix the casting powder almost as fast, tap it on the counter a little bit harder, and then pour it slowly and smoothly to avoid bubbles in the cast. 4. Leave it overnight. Five hours was not enough, it was still very damp and fingers broke off very easily. I ended up putting them in a huge bowl of rice for a day (I'm in florida, so maybe we can blame the humidity - I'm not sure) 5. Once its dry, youll have to use the sandpaper to smooth lots of things out - between the fingers, bumps, etc. I also ended up using a few nail files and a dremel. 6. If you have tiny bubbles on the surface, mix the rest of the casting powder and use a tiny brush to fill them. They will still need to be lightly sanded after they dry. 7. If you are doing multiple kids, be really careful that they are put into the first mixture at the same angle and to close to the same amount of depth on the back of their hand/wrist. One kid put their hand in about and inch and a half deeper than the other two, and it took me forever to get it sanded down to the same size (i put them in a shadow box, so i should have throught about that beforehand!) The bottom is what came out, and the top was my end result after the extra work. Bad pictures, but a really awesome gift!!

Sirve perfectamente pero tienen que ser rápidos cuando lo vallan a usar, cuando prepare la mezcla me demore dandole manigueta y se me puso duro, en el momento excato que tengan q usarlo usenlo porque si se pasan mas tiempo moviendolo como me paso a mi se les va a poner duro el producto. Una segunda vez si nos quedo muy bien. El resultado es muy lindo y bien terminado. Trae todo el kit que vas a necesitar para prepararlo y usarlo. No vas a tener que usar nada adicional.

I was so excited to get this, this is my last baby and I couldn’t wait to have this keep sake. Unfortunately the foot did not turn out at all. I waited until she was tired and calm like it said but the mold is colder and my baby was not having it, so it did not turn out at all. The hand turned out pretty good though thankfully. I am really sad about the foot though because that is the main reason I bought it. Anything like this is probably going to be pretty challenging with such a young baby though. I would still say it’s worth trying.

I’m really disappointed with this hand and foot casting kit. The biggest issue is how long the mold takes to set — it stays soft for far too long, which is completely impractical when you’re working with a baby. It’s nearly impossible to keep a baby’s hand or foot still for that amount of time, so the final result ends up distorted and unusable. On top of that, the instructions/video provided are not helpful at all. They don’t prepare you for the actual timing or the challenges involved, especially with infants. Overall, this product doesn’t deliver what it promises and is not suitable for babies despite being marketed that way. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Turned out great. There were instructions in the package and we followed them and everything turned out perfect. I ended up doing two feet in one mold and it was great! You need more sand paper to get the ended better but that’s my only complaint.

The person we went to for our first for casting wasn't open anymore and everyone else was so far away. My husband decided to do the casting himself and surprisingly it came out pretty good, would definitely buy and try again.

Pretty easy to make! Just need to make sure the baby is in a deep sleep and doesn’t move around.

Doesn’t come with instructions. It gives a barcode but every time I tried to scan it it was an error
