How to make a three-dimensional cast of a pen. How to make a baby footprint and handprint from dough

On March 8, we decided to give our beloved grandmothers a gift in the form of casts of the arms and legs of our 4-month-old daughter. I think it turned out well! It's done like this...

Step 1. Super elastic is made salty dough. To do this, take half a glass of brewed starch for 1 glass of flour and 1 glass of salt: 1 tbsp. dilute a spoonful of starch in half a glass cold water and pour into 1 cup of boiling water. Take half a glass of this solution and knead the dough on it. Ready dough divide into portions. A cake is made somewhere 2-3 cm thick and with a long leg and / or handle. I placed the cakes in disposable plates (you can use any other container). Then we take the arm or leg of the baby and gently press.

Step 2. We buy ordinary gypsum(only not alabaster - it dries for a long time) 1kg costs approximately 12 rubles. We dilute it (like liquid sour cream) very quickly, because it quickly hardens, and pour it into our traces. After some time, when the gypsum hardens, we remove it from the mold and process the edges sandpaper or a file.

Step 3. Then we buy gouache desired color and color the resulting casts. We print out a photo of our beloved child, make a passport. We buy 2 frames. We fix the photo on one frame, and on the other, on the glass, glue the casts on with transparent super-glue right places, we sign with a contour.

Step 4. We buy a decorative chain and connect two frames with it. That's it! It turns out cool. Well, if you approach this issue with imagination.

Grandma loved it!

Good article, thanks! I looked at the ready-made kits in the store - neither the design nor the price pleased me. And to do it yourself is a pleasure! In the end, we didn’t bother with plaster, but made an imprint with paint) also in a frame - it’s convenient, it doesn’t collect dust. By the way, in the States it is very fashionable to make a cast of the abdomen during pregnancy)

Making molds from dough is from the category of "cheap and cheerful." The result is not so pleasing to the eye - the blinds turn out to be remotely similar to real palms. Rough, you can not see a small pattern on the hand. Buy ready-made sets for casts of children's hands and feet with modern materials. Now they are sold at an absolutely affordable price for everyone. Especially in online stores. There are foreign-made ones (they are more expensive), there are domestic ones (they are more affordable, but the quality is no worse). And take away significant difference as casts - the size, shape of the handle, all the folds and dashes on the palm are perfectly conveyed. Almost nothing needs to be corrected. It's easy and simple to do! And fantasies for creativity - no less! If already and do the memory on long years- only from quality modern materials! 21st century in the yard! :)

Me such use test - bread! - seems blasphemous. Could use something else - some plasticine, for example.

Tell me, where is the gypsum sold, in hardware store? I liked it very much, I want to...

I somehow copied the story how to do it. Here it is, and I'll attach a photo of what happened to the registration.
Maybe I've heard or seen somewhere, but it doesn't matter. It somehow came to my mind and Yegor and I realized it, it turned out very nice and without special costs time, effort and money.
We roll out the salt dough into a layer, mm 5-8, cut out a circle (square, rhombus, whatever you want), make a child’s handprint on it, a couple of holes at the top and bottom of the product and bake in the oven (our oven broke down just at the time of making the first pancake: (I had to fry in a pan. This is two or three times longer and probably not so beautiful.) I will say right away that we added red dye to the dough (the child chose), so the palm was painted dark red, and then everything was covered with colorless varnish ( for nails;), there was no other). Ribbon on top, bottom you can attach a hook from a paper clip - a holder for small things - potholders, towels, keys, etc.
The child is now making plans for how he will make "pens" and give them to "his girls" at school;) 05.11.2001 01:35:26, bee>|

wow ... I also wanted to ask this question the other day :)

Want to make your baby's childhood memories even more amazing and vivid? Kits for making children's volumetric casts and prints will help parents with this. Small palms and heels of newborns are so appetizing and beautiful that you want to remember them in the smallest detail.

The arms and legs of babies, we have already told you. Now let's talk about how you can design them in an original way.

framed

Framing casts of children's hands and feet into a frame is a classic of the genre, but this does not detract from the charm of the made souvenirs. There are single, double and triple frames on sale, with or without a photo - it all depends on your wishes. You can make a frame with your own hands. In addition, you can add a frame with a cast or print in a variety of ways.

Use rhinestones, flowers, butterflies and other decorative delights.

Add a pacifier, socks, booties or other memorabilia.

Color prints in any shades - pink, blue, gold, silver, bronze.

pendants

If, during the manufacture of casts or prints of the palms and heels, a small hole is made in them and a satin or lace ribbon is threaded into it, an elegant pendant can be obtained. This decor will look great in a child's room, in the living room or in the parent's office.

figurines

To make a cute figurine, you just need to install the resulting 3D plaster casts on the platform and cover with paint. It is important to let them dry thoroughly before applying a decorative coat of paint, as well as after that. You can apply paint in several layers, as well as use contrasting shades. Any ideas - the possibilities for creativity are unlimited. How to color? It all depends on your wishes - choose a golden or silver decor, semi-antique or, on the contrary, fashionable and bright shades?

How to decorate a figurine? Add some chic - rhinestones, beads, flowers or any other decorative elements.

Heart shaped

Plaster prints or heart-shaped casts look very graceful. To give more chic to such souvenirs, you can use dyes for gold and silver. And of course, do not forget about the commemorative signature with the name and age of a small child.

Every mother, like a sorceress, strives to preserve the childhood moments of her baby. Tags from the maternity hospital, roots from baptism, strands of cut hair are sent to the piggy bank of the most expensive. No less worthy copy of the story of growing up of a little offspring are casts of arms and legs.

It will be especially interesting for a child to see tangible proof of his size in infancy. Many children's shops and shops offer ready-made safe mixtures for making an imprint, but a do-it-yourself cast of a child's hand and foot will be a good alternative.

Purpose

There are a great many options for composition for family creativity, there are even options for those who have hypersensitive skin. To select the material, it is necessary to determine the purpose of the product. If hand-made casts of arms and legs are hidden in a casket or box of memories, it is necessary to choose a light material that would convey only the dimensions of the limbs. In the case when the imprint of the limbs of the child will be constantly in sight, its formation must be carried out from durable materials that can withstand both decoration and subsequent use in the form of a statuette or frame.

From salt dough

You can make casts of handles, legs with your own hands from ordinary salt dough. Products for making the base are always available in any home, so it should not be difficult to recreate the creative process. For the test you will need:

• 2 cups of good flour;
• 2 cups finely ground salt (you can grind it in a coffee grinder);
• water.

Manufacturing

In a tall and capacious bowl, it is necessary to mix the dry part: fine grinding of salt ensures high-quality mixing of particles with flour. This will greatly simplify the whole process. Further, it is necessary to pour into the mixture in small doses. warm water, the amount of liquid depends on the type of flour and its type, some use corn, which is quite hard and absorbs a lot of water. Note that the more evenly the dough is kneaded, the more obedient the basis for the impression will be. When the mass becomes thick and viscous, it is completely ready for modeling.

Making casts of arms and legs with your own hands is quite simple. But things are worse with the process of their hardening. After the dough has been rolled out required dimensions(if the handle or leg is not cut from a common piece, you should take care of the density of each edge in advance), you can apply the baby's hands. It’s worth pressing wisely: a uniform print will give the craft a well-groomed look, and deepening in a certain place will spoil the overall picture.

A cast of children's arms and legs, made with your own hands, needs to be dried. For this, a room with a permanent temperature regime(the balcony is suitable only on hot summer days). Baking the base in the oven is not worth it, the dough will rise and break the relief of the print. After 2-3 days, the base is subjected to registration. The craft can be painted in a monophonic version or given a creative shape. Many modern families like the avant-garde and positive thinking. The cast can be painted with different warm colors giving each finger its own shade. Someone represents the base under the palm (feet) as a green lawn or a golden surface. After the paints have dried, the product can be safely varnished: a durable varnish for ceramics, which can be easily found in any construction department, will be ideal.

Self-hardening plastic product

No less colorful is a cast of children's arms and legs, made of self-hardening plastic with their own hands. The material is more resistant than dough or gypsum, and can be adjusted much more easily than its predecessors. You can buy such material in any art shop. The first step is to do the imprint of the limb: on the salt dough, it is worth extruding the pen and leaving the base to dry. Making an impression on the test will reduce the risk of allergies due to the contact of the child’s small hand and chemical composition the plastic itself, which is undoubtedly a plus.

When the cast of the baby’s arms and legs, made with your own hands, has dried up, you can start processing it. The first step will be smearing the impression vegetable oil This will help the plastic not stick to the dough. Do not pour a glass of fat on the cast, it is better to draw a wide brush or a cotton pad dipped in a substance over it.

Next stage

Next, you need to make molds from plastic. To do this, a weighty piece of plastic already worked out in the hands must be applied over the test base and carefully pressed through all the contours of the handle. The better the contact of the two layers occurs, the more natural the craft will look. If the plastic is fresh or stored strictly in a sealed bag, then working with the material is a pleasure. If there was air access, you will have to work on it in advance. While the dough dries, it is necessary to knead the plastic in your hands daily so that it disperses a little.

The final stage

After oil treatment, the plastic can be easily removed from the dough. Next, you need to cut off the excess. The finished handle (leg) must be supplemented with volume and allowed to dry. You can make a wreath with family palms. To do this, it is worth fashioning the parental palms and inserting a wire into the edges. So the material is well connected together and dries. After drying the casts of arms and legs made with your own hands, you can plunge into decoration. Having covered the stucco acrylic paint any color and varnish, go to the wreath.

Material for flowers can be selected in different textures. The brighter and more unusual the details are, the richer the whole exposure will look. Having processed each petal with a spark to fix its border, they should be fastened with a thread and a pebble in the form of a core. You can also make leaves in the form of an autumn palette, then the wreath will turn out bright and cheerful. The palms themselves should be placed in the center, connected with a wire with a circle of flowers. After that, it is better to paint the wire in a suitable tone so that it is lost in the general array. You can safely hang such a craft in the center of the photo mosaic on the wall or by the fireplace.

Gypsum products

More practical idea there will be another option for creating a cast of a child's hand, legs with your own hands. Gypsum is a fairly malleable material, but too heavy. Crafts from it are not very practical, it is necessary to allocate a separate place for them.

The first impression should be made on the same salt dough, and plaster should be used in subsequent work. For a pair of impressions, dilute 150 g of dry mix with a little water. It is worth remembering that different manufacturers indicate the approximate amount on their packages, since gypsum absorbs water differently over time. The finished mixture must have the density of homemade sour cream, so it will be easier to work with it.

Last step and freezing

To make plaster casts of arms and legs with your own hands, you need to act quickly: the test form should be carefully poured with plaster. It is worth moving the mold so that air bubbles do not remain in the thickness of the base, which can damage in the future. Next, the mold should be allowed to dry for at least a day.

Decoration

The finished cast, if there is a desire, can be beautifully designed. Paint is better to choose gold, silver or snow-white. It all depends on the overall harmony of the panel or picture.

The most beautiful phenomenon created by nature is the birth of a child.

AT modern world with help various kinds technology (camera, video camera) you can track the development of the baby from the very first day of life.

But many people want to look at their baby not only from photographs and videos. Therefore, they often order in studios the so-called copies of the arms and legs of a child - casts that can be made from almost any hardening material - gypsum, chocolate, wax, liquid glass and other materials.

But in this article we will focus on other types of casts - the so-called 3D casts. In another way, they are also called voluminous.

On the Internet you can find the very technology of their manufacture, but rarely where you will see information about their component composition. In this publication, we will reveal this secret to you.

So, to make a three-dimensional cast of a child's arms or legs, we need:

- gypsum (or other hardening material)

- alginate (sold in dental stores)

— plastic container

- water (36.6 degrees)

Before you start work, you need to put your child to sleep in a playpen or a baby cradle (if the little one is still small). This is necessary so that during the removal of the impression, he does not move the handle or leg.

Then we prepare the impression mass. For this we select right amount alginate powder and water in accordance with 1.5 to 1.

Pour the alginate into the water (and not vice versa!) And stir with a mixer or a spoon. Just do it very quickly, as it freezes almost immediately.

Then we immerse the baby's handle (leg) in this mass, wait for solidification. Whether it has frozen or not, you can check with your finger - touch the surface of the mass - if it does not stick to your hands, then the solidification is over. As a result, it should look like rubber.

Now, very carefully, so as not to damage the impression mass, we take the child's limb out of it, and put it back to sleep under the supervision of a baby monitor or video baby monitor. We will get a kind of deepening.

The next step is to prepare a solution of gypsum and water. Pour the gypsum into the water (and not vice versa!) And stir it to the consistency of thick sour cream and fill the resulting cast with this solution. We are waiting for a day. Then we carefully cut the alginate along the edges of the container with a knife, turn it over and make an incision on the mass in order to pull out the resulting cast.

That's all. As they say, everything ingenious is simple. Now the voluminous cast of your crumbs will be preserved for life and constantly remind you of the moments of his childhood.

We make casts of children's arms and legs with our own hands!

Home — Articles — We make molds of children's hands and feet with our own hands!

Hello dear readers, finally I am ripe for a new article!
A year and a half has passed since the last inspiration!
A lot of new things have happened in my life, the most important thing is that my son, Leonid, my second child, was born (in January 2014)!
He is now 6.5 months old. And I again started a business with casts!

How to make a mold of the arms and legs with your own hands from plaster? We answer: "Very simple!"


There are a lot of kits for making them in stores, and there are a lot of them on the Internet. different advice how to do it!

In 2011, 3 years ago, when I was making casts of Danochka's arms and legs, I first bought a ready-made set.

How to make a 3d cast of a child's arms and legs at home

I did everything according to the instructions. She diluted the mixture, put the sleeping child’s hand into a plate, and my Danulya took it and woke up and knocked over all this liquid on me! While I was washing, the second jar of gel dried up. Conclusion: I threw money away!

Then I got into my favorite Internet, and saw a lot of recipes for making children's casts from gypsum.

I want to tell you the simplest and easy way making casts of my favorite arms and legs, which I liked the most!

To make children's casts you will need:


For test:
- half a glass of water,
- two tablespoons sunflower oil,
(oil is needed to make the dough more elastic)
- one glass of flour
- one glass of salt
(preferably fine, salt is needed so that the dough is “obedient”, so that it keeps its shape better)

The volume of my glass is 150 milliliters.

To make the casts themselves:
- gypsum,
- water.

Where can I get plaster for making children's casts?

1. Can be bought at construction market.
2. You can buy any children's kit for creativity, for example, the Sculptor kit.
I have had this set since 2011 🙂

First we make the dough.
In a bowl, mix salt and flour, pour in oil and water, mix everything.
The dough should be tight! If the dough is runny, add more flour.
Divide the dough in half and roll it out with your hands.
It is necessary to get two small round, but thick (2-3 cm) cakes, so that the cast is more voluminous.


We take a little one, make prints of the legs and handles!

Making a baby footprint


Making an imprint of a child's hand


For the first time with Dana, I made the right arm and the left leg.
The second time with Leonid, I made the right arm and right leg.
It's better to do like the first time, for example, left hand and right leg or vice versa.
I think it looks so beautiful!

Next, take a disposable glass, pour water, pour gypsum and mix everything.
I don’t specifically write the proportions of water and gypsum, since I made liquid gypsum “by eye”.
The consistency should be like sour cream or kefir.

We pour liquid plaster into our children's prints, and wait.


When the plaster has hardened, remove the dough and our casts are ready!


The rest of the dough is easily removed with ordinary water.
Baby molds are ready!


It remains to decorate them!

You can color the casts as you like, I took pink and silver nail polish!
First, she painted the children's casts with pink, and then with silver varnish.
Here's what happened.


Then I found a beautiful frame on the Internet, added a photo of the child and signed the age - I printed the photo!
Bought regular photo frame, put a photo, a pregnancy test, a bracelet and a tag from the hospital!
I glued ready-made children's casts, on double sided tape, on the glass!

So a beautiful frame with children's casts is ready for a long memory!

You can add baby's first clothes, a pacifier, and more.

For comparison, I post a photo of my first frame with casts!


Now we have this beauty at home:


Children's casts can be made at any age, but to make it easier to attach them, it is better when they are still tiny.
The sooner you make casts, the easier it is to attach them to the photo frame!

Good luck with your creations!

P.S. : The only thing I didn't understand is how to remove air bubbles from plaster?
Small dots appear on the casts.
Maybe you need to stir longer?

Small children grow up quickly, and so you want to capture their tiny fingers and legs in memory. Casts of arms and legs made by parents can become quite a tangible thing. The manufacturing process is very simple, the materials are available, and the result will delight you for many years.

You will need:

• flour;
• salt;
• water;
• gypsum or alabaster;
• paint in a can;
• picture frame;
• liquid Nails;
• photograph of a child, jewelry.

To get an impression, we make salt dough. Dissolve half a glass of salt in one glass of water and add flour. Mix everything thoroughly to make an elastic, soft dough. Flour add about 1 cup, but if your hands stick to the dough, you can increase the amount of flour. Divide the resulting dough into 4 parts and roll out cakes 2 cm thick and slightly larger than the palm of your hand. Take the baby's hand and gently press it into the dough. The hands and feet of the child should be dry, clean, so as not to stick to the dough. We remove the palm and look at the print. If not very clear, roll out the salt dough back and repeat the process. Try to make a deep impression. In a separate container, we dilute gypsum or alabaster. We take half a glass of dry matter and gradually add water until the consistency of thick sour cream is obtained. The resulting solution is quickly poured into a mold from the dough until the alabaster is frozen. Move the mold gently to avoid air bubbles. Leave the print to dry overnight.

Carefully remove the casts of the legs and arms, as the resulting fingers are very fragile. To do this, turn the dough over and slowly separate it from the cast. Excess parts are cut off with a knife, irregularities are processed with sandpaper.

It's time to paint our casts. Traditionally gold and silver spray paint is used. But you can take the usual gouache. After the casts have dried, glue them onto the frame using liquid nails. We insert a photo of the baby, decorate with applique.

The considered option allows you to make casts of arms and legs using improvised materials. To get three-dimensional casts, you can purchase ready-made kits with a gel filler.
