• Casting powder / plaster mix
• Mixing bucket or container
• Step-by-step instruction guide

How to Use

1. Mix the alginate powder with water in the provided container until smooth
2. Submerge the hand (or hands) into the mixture and hold still for 2–3 minutes while it sets
3. Gently remove the hand — the mold holds its shape perfectly
4. Mix the casting powder with water and pour into the mold
5. Allow to cure for 30–60 minutes, then carefully peel away the alginate to reveal your cast
6. Paint, seal, or display as desired once fully dry

Safety Tips

• Always supervise children and infants during the molding step
• Do not use on broken or irritated skin
• Keep casting powder away from eyes and nose; work in a ventilated space
• Alginate molds are single-use — plan your session before mixing
• Dispose of leftover alginate in the bin, not down the drain, to avoid blockages
