Pearhead Babyprints Baby's First Handprint or Footprint Ornament Kit, Easy No-Bake DIY Clay Impression Kit, Christmas Baby Gift, Baby Keepsake Ornament, Pack of 2

I've been rocking the Babyprints Christmas Ornament magic for a solid 3 years now, and it's been one of the greatest additions to my Christmas tree!Is it worth the price?Totally! This little kit has earned its keep. While I did not use it to make baby footprints; I had enough material to turn it into not 1 but 2 sentimental ornaments with our first home's key prints and even our wedding rings. It's the ornament that keeps on giving!Positives:Easy peasy! The directions were very easy to follow and left little to no chance for mistakes. I went rogue and printed keys and rings, and they came out looking very sharp and detailed. The ornaments dried very fast and came with a snazzy red ribbon for hanging. Plus, these little ornaments are S-T-U-R-D-Y—no fear of it shattering like a plaster ornament.Neutral:Just a small wish—I kinda hoped for a few cutting shapes to jazz up the ornament's look. Had to pull out MY cookie cutter collection to get a more refined look.Negatives:Nada. Seriously, this kit is like Santa's workshop for crafting – all cheer, no coal.Overall:Crafting those ornaments was a blast, and now they're the VIPs on my Christmas tree for 3 years running. No regrets, just happy memories hanging from the branches. If you're looking to sprinkle some DIY magic into your holidays, this Babyprints Christmas Ornament kit is the real deal. Ho ho ho-approved!

This turned out so well! Such a good price and such easy to follow instructions!There is enough of the impression material to make more ornaments with a juice glass as the cutter! We did the cats paw, the dogs nose (teeth) and mom/dads thumb prints! I’m so excited to put them on the tree!These ornaments are also very light weight and won’t weigh down the branches on the tree!

The instructions say to not open until ready to use, got everything prepped but when I opened the “impression material” it was hard and rubbery. The material was already stale. Could not be kneaded or rolled out. Even had my husband try. Could not be kneaded or rolled out still. Just to see if we could get any results we went ahead and wet the babies foot and tried imprint but no go.They Long story short: first time opening the impression material and came stale - the texture was similar to hard, rubberized laffy taffy.Make your own salt dough ornaments2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup warm waterStir into dough. Knead. Let dough sit for 20 mins.Roll out to 1/3 or 1/4 inch (based on your preference)Stamp baby’s hand or foot.Can bake for longevity. Just look up instructions on google for more details.Don’t waste your money on this product.

So glad I decided to try this ornament out despite the many reviews claiming the foam-like material never truly “hardens”. This product was super easy to work with if you simply follow its instructions. I ended up using a glass cup to cut out my 3 month old’s handprint as the included plastic circle was just too large in my opinion. Note: there was enough material left over to make another print if I wanted to. I left the ornament out to dry for approximately 48 hrs. (on parchment paper so it didn’t stick!) and flipped it twice. After that time, the ornament seemed hard enough to put on the tree. Now, 6 weeks later as I am going to pack the ornament away, it is definitely as hard as one of those plaster print ornaments (yet was way easier to make, even with a baby’s prints). I have no doubts it will last us for a very long time. 10/10 recommend for ease of use and the keepsake factor.

The circular cutout is big! If you want a “cute” ornament this you’d have to use a different cutter

I didn't buy this through Amazon the first time around but I have it on my wish list for a near future purchase. There seems to be a lot of complaints about perfect circles and difficulty with the material but I've bought 3 so far and you get the hang of it if you use some patience. And the best part is, you get to keep working with it till you're happy with what you've got. I didn't get perfection and perfect circles but, they were good enough and to tell you the truth, the whole reason for getting it in the first place was to have a keepsake of my grandchildren's hands and THAT'S what I notice when I look at it. I even got 2 for my parents and flattened the "clay" out thinner than it's supposed to be so that it could be rolled into a big enough circle for their hands to make imprints and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did that. I lost my Dad 2 years ago and now I've got this precious keepsake of his handprint that I sometimes place my own hand over. Don't let imperfect circles and impatience keep you from getting this great keepsake. Even if it doesn't come out well at all in the end, you'll have those precious imprints forever.PS I love that it's this soft material that won't break if you drop it when it's finished.
