Body Casting Kits

Using our special moulding agent, every detail of the body can be captured. It takes a prefect impression of the skin - You'll be amazed at how every wrinkle, dimple and fold shows up.


Each mould is then cast in the highest quality plaster and our special painting technique is used to give a true aged effect whilst enhancing all the detail.


For treasured memories, family heirlooms, fun gifts or personal treasures... we can do it, and so can you!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Baby & Child Castings
1. Will it hurt my baby?
Absolutely not. Your baby will be putting his or her hand or foot into a soft creamy mixture which will become firm but stay flexible after just one minute (during which time they are free to wriggle). The hand or foot then slides easily and cleanly out of the mould. The moulding powder is mixed with cold water which may cause momentary surprise.

2. Could my baby be allergic to the moulding agent?
The moulding powder is a complete natural product (made from seaweed) and is hypo-allergenic, non-toxic and 100 biodegradable. It is widely used within the medical profession for taking skin and tooth impressions.

3. How long does it take?
It takes no longer than 1 minute for the mould mixture to set once the hand or foot is placed in the casting bag. The entire process takes no longer than 5 minutes.

4. Does my baby need to be asleep?
No. Because we use a soft casting bag rather than a fixed container for babies and small children, they are free to wriggle about during the process. A musical toy or cheerful distraction can help but babies usually love to watch what's going on.

5. What happens if my baby wriggles?
Not a problem - moving their fingers and toes can help to disperse air bubbles in the mixture. When the mixture is close to setting it will be difficult for the baby to move for a just a second or two (this is when the impression is taken). Remember, the moulding process takes less than 1 minute.

6. Is the process very messy?
No. Once the mixture sets it forms a rubber-like mould which peels easily from the skin and baby's hand or foot will emerge completely clean. We recommend doing home castings in the kitchen so that any mixture, once set, will peel cleanly away from smooth surfaces. Should any mixture get onto clothes, it should peel away easily when dry.

7. Are the home casting kits easy to use?
Absolutely. Read the easy to follow instructions or access our step-by-step visual guide with the password contained in your kit. Having a helper can make things a little easier, but your baby castings will be so much more rewarding when you have done them yourself.

8. How many casts can I do with one baby's hand & foot kit?
You can cast one hand + one foot, two hands or two feet.



Adult Castings
1. Will it hurt?
Not at all. There may be momentary surprise from the temperature of the moulding mixture when it is first applied, as cold water is used to slow down the setting time.

2. Could I have an allergic reaction?
The moulding powder is a complete natural product (made from seaweed) and is hypo-allergenic, non-toxic and 100 biodegradable. It is widely used within the medical profession for taking skin and tooth impressions)

3. I have a hairy chest. Can I still cast my torso?
Yes. Before the mixture is applied, the skin is rubbed with baby oil or in the case of very hairy areas, vaseline. This allows the mould to be removed easily without pulling at the hair.

4. When we cast our hands, is it safe to wear our wedding rings?
Yes. In fact, hands look better with rings and add to the character of the casting. Your hands and jewellery will come cleanly out of the mould and will not damage the jewellery in any way.

5. I am thinking of casting my pregnant belly but could it hurt my baby?
Not at all. The moulding agent does not restrict your belly in any way and your baby is free to move about whilst the cast is being taken.

6. Why would I want a cast of a certain part of my body?
Apart from the fun side of having a great memento or truly personal gift for a partner, a family hands cast, for example, makes a great keepsake to be treasured as you grow older.

We have cast people who are overweight and determined to change the way they look so before-and-after castings are a great incentive.

Women thinking of a breast enlargement or reduction have the ideal opportunity to capture their old and new looks.

Men determined to get a rippling muscles or a six-pack are spurred on by before-and-after castings. Especially when the new torso casting takes pride of place in the home.

On a more serious note, women who are to undergo a mastectomy or those having other body changing operations (which, for instance, will leave them scarred) seek comfort in having a cast done before the event. We have also cast both adults and children with terminal illnesses which have been a great comfort to the families left behind.

7. Are the home kits really that easy to use?
Yes. As long as you read the easy-to-follow instructions and the 'read this first' guide, not much can go wrong.

8. Can I cast myself or will I need help?
You will need help, as you will not be able to move around once the mixture has been spread on your body. If you are buying a kit as a gift for a friend or family, be willing to do the cast for them - it's really good fun.
