Finished Belly Cast Photos  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
This is my completed belly cast. I put a coat of gesso on it so if I decide later I still want to paint it I can.

Wow, that looks great! I'm impressed with how even and symmetrical the edges are.

That is really nice, definitely the best I've seen! How did you put the black ribbon through it? Do you make holes when you are applying the cast?

Thanks for the compliments girls. I really like how it turned out and like the simplicity of the white. I think after the baby arrives I will stamp the feet on the inside of the cast with the baby's name.

Erica - I am sure my DH would love to take credit for making the edges nice and straight, but that is not what happened! After the belly cast was dry I took a sharp pair of scissors and cut it to make everything more even.

Jennifer - To attach the ribbon I used a small hand screwdriver to drill a small hole on either side of the belly cast after it was dry. I shoved the ribbon into the hole and also through a washer on the inside of the belly cast and tied a knot on the inside so it wouldn't go back through the hole. I thought the washer would give the hole a little more strength.

Oh, I like the ribbon! I still have to finish mine. I like yours! And you gave me an idea to at least get it "prepped/finished" so that I can just paint it later when I figure out what I want mine to look like.
