Plaster hand/foot print.. don't do it!

Alan bought me a bunch of these make-a-footprint-in-plaster home kits for Christmas. It was a cute idea but i thought it was definitely a disaster-in-waiting projects. But after weeks of procrastination, we finally found ourselves having some time on our hands this weekend and decided that it's now or never to tackle this.

It was actually quite a funny task at first and our hand print was not as nice as the one in the picture. But I didn't find it so funny after i had to re-do the footprint for the 6th time! Like i told Alan, who's going to notice that there are 6 toes instead of 5 in Tyler's plaster??


First you pry open their teeny little fingers...


Then you push them into the plaster and press each finger


And make sure they don't wriggle. Didn't realize Tyler had so much toe movements till now!

So, my take on this subject.. let the pros do it!!

I would also show you a finished product but it's so ugly the camera refused to take a picture of it!! hahaha...
