PearheadBabyprints Ornament, Baby's First Christmas Holiday Keepsake, Newborn Handprint or Footprint Clay Kit, Easy No-Bake DIY Impression, Gender-Neutral Baby Gift

I've been rocking the Babyprints Christmas Ornament magic for a solid 3 years now, and it's been one of the greatest additions to my Christmas tree!Is it worth the price?Totally! This little kit has earned its keep. While I did not use it to make baby footprints; I had enough material to turn it into not 1 but 2 sentimental ornaments with our first home's key prints and even our wedding rings. It's the ornament that keeps on giving!Positives:Easy peasy! The directions were very easy to follow and left little to no chance for mistakes. I went rogue and printed keys and rings, and they came out looking very sharp and detailed. The ornaments dried very fast and came with a snazzy red ribbon for hanging. Plus, these little ornaments are S-T-U-R-D-Y—no fear of it shattering like a plaster ornament.Neutral:Just a small wish—I kinda hoped for a few cutting shapes to jazz up the ornament's look. Had to pull out MY cookie cutter collection to get a more refined look.Negatives:Nada. Seriously, this kit is like Santa's workshop for crafting – all cheer, no coal.Overall:Crafting those ornaments was a blast, and now they're the VIPs on my Christmas tree for 3 years running. No regrets, just happy memories hanging from the branches. If you're looking to sprinkle some DIY magic into your holidays, this Babyprints Christmas Ornament kit is the real deal. Ho ho ho-approved!

This turned out so well! Such a good price and such easy to follow instructions!There is enough of the impression material to make more ornaments with a juice glass as the cutter! We did the cats paw, the dogs nose (teeth) and mom/dads thumb prints! I’m so excited to put them on the tree!These ornaments are also very light weight and won’t weigh down the branches on the tree!

The instructions say to not open until ready to use, got everything prepped but when I opened the “impression material” it was hard and rubbery. The material was already stale. Could not be kneaded or rolled out. Even had my husband try. Could not be kneaded or rolled out still. Just to see if we could get any results we went ahead and wet the babies foot and tried imprint but no go.They Long story short: first time opening the impression material and came stale - the texture was similar to hard, rubberized laffy taffy.Make your own salt dough ornaments2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup warm waterStir into dough. Knead. Let dough sit for 20 mins.Roll out to 1/3 or 1/4 inch (based on your preference)Stamp baby’s hand or foot.Can bake for longevity. Just look up instructions on google for more details.Don’t waste your money on this product.

So glad I decided to try this ornament out despite the many reviews claiming the foam-like material never truly “hardens”. This product was super easy to work with if you simply follow its instructions. I ended up using a glass cup to cut out my 3 month old’s handprint as the included plastic circle was just too large in my opinion. Note: there was enough material left over to make another print if I wanted to. I left the ornament out to dry for approximately 48 hrs. (on parchment paper so it didn’t stick!) and flipped it twice. After that time, the ornament seemed hard enough to put on the tree. Now, 6 weeks later as I am going to pack the ornament away, it is definitely as hard as one of those plaster print ornaments (yet was way easier to make, even with a baby’s prints). I have no doubts it will last us for a very long time. 10/10 recommend for ease of use and the keepsake factor.

The circular cutout is big! If you want a “cute” ornament this you’d have to use a different cutter

I read a lot of negative reviews and I can’t understand why bc mine was so great! I wanted something that was mess free and wouldn’t shatter if dropped bc my kids are so young, it’s perfect! I did have one that I think was old gifted to me and the print didn’t hold as it dried but this one I just got was fresh and perfect! Make sure you kneed it to get all the air bubbles out and your good to go! It didn’t stick to the cutter or the straw and was soft enough I was able to gently push my 2 month olds hand in far enough to get a good print without feeling like I was hurting her! Did it last night and the print is still perfectly in there! Can’t say enough good about this except the cutter is HUGE! Lol I will say I pulled out one of my own Cookie cutter to use instead bc I didn’t want a mini plate on my tree lol
