Bodycasting: An original gift! Are you looking for an original gift for Christmas, a birth, anniversary, Sinterklaas, Mother's Day or Father's Day? Or maybe you want to capture the early years of your children in a fun and unique way? Then Bodycasting is for you! But what is bodycasting exactly? And why is bodycasting exactly the personalized gift you are looking for? We will explain it to you here!

What is body casting?

Bodycasting is simply the act of capturing a part of your body in plaster. Sounds a bit strange, right? Well, it may sound strange and have a bit of a strange name, but bodycasting is the perfect personalized gift and ideal to give as a gift for Christmas, a birth, Sinterklaas, ... or as a gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day!

When you do body casting you can capture your hand – or perhaps even the hands of your family – in plaster and thus create a statue of it, so to speak.

This way, you can capture the bond of your family in plaster through body casting. And did we mention that the final image also looks very beautiful? Perfect for the mantle or the coffee table!

What can you body cast?

Before you start bodycasting it is of course very important that you know what you can bodycast. First of all you can bodycast the hands and feet of your baby or child.

After a few years, it is often impossible to understand that that screaming teenager was a little sprout that fit perfectly in the crook of your arm. That is why it can be fun to capture the hand or foot of your child through body casting.

In addition, you can also bodycast your own hand and foot as a gift for your father or mother. Because the bodycast consists of white plaster, you can also paint your statue or write something on it.

You can also cast the hands of your family together. Hold each other's hands and let your hands be transformed into a mold. This way you can immortalize the bond of your family! Look carefully at the descriptions in the manual, so you can be sure that you capture the right position!

What material is used?

Before you start bodycasting you probably want to know what material is used in bodycasting. As you have already read above the final statue will be made of plaster.

In order to cast your plaster figurine, a mold will first have to be made. This mold consists of 3D gel that feels very pleasant. You will then have to dip your hands and those of your family into this gel.

When the gel has hardened enough, you can take your hand out and pour the plaster in. After about 30 minutes, you can take your very own, personal and unique statue out of the mold!

Precisely because only 3D gel and plaster are used, making a body cast is very easy!

When you choose body casting you kill two birds with one stone. Not only have you picked something nice that everyone will enjoy for years, your gift is also very personal.

Perhaps it is also fun to capture the hands of your entire family in a beautiful handprint in plaster. Or are you still looking for a nice gift for Valentine's Day? This is also a very romantic gift to immortalize your hands together. Really the perfect gift!
