What is more beautiful than a pregnant belly in full blossom?  With a Belly Cast or Henna Kit, you can preserve, dedicate, and decorate your belly to remember your pregnancy for years to come.


Belly Cast Kits

A pregnancy belly cast is a plaster cast made of an expecting mom's beautiful pregnant form. Making a pregnancy belly cast with a loved one in the privacy of mom's home is an easy project that is made in just 30 minutes.

No mixing of messy materials is required and the end result is a perfect 3D memento of an expecting mom's belly or torso. A pregnancy belly cast is created by applying several layers of wet plaster strips to the front of mom's body. After the strips have set, they will hold her shape and the belly cast will come away from her body and she will capture how beautiful she looked during her pregnancy.

Kit Contains:

  • 5 rolls of premium-quality casting material (more than any other standard kit on the market)

  • Tube of Vaseline®

  • Drop cloth

  • Nitrile (non-latex) gloves

  • Sanding screen

  • Step-by-Step Instructions written in English, Spanish & French

  • Decorating sheet with hundreds of decorating ideas

Belly Cast Kit:  $29.99

Henna Painting Kits

Henna use during pregnancy is an ancient practice and is soothing as well as calming. It is believed to help bring about an easy birth and healthy child.

Modern women are looking for a way to celebrate their growing bodies, to do something that looks wonderful on a big, round belly that is full of life. Henna during pregnancy has nothing to do with the burden of extra weight and discomfort of a changing body but celebrates the unique shape of a full belly with expansive patterns that complement the figure. The application process of mehndi or henna body art on a pregnant belly is a time where the mom needs to be still and relaxed. She has to find time in her schedule to sit down for a few hours and focus on her belly, on her pregnancy, and her new life. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit with a few close girlfriends before the birth.

Henna should be avoided or used sparingly if you are extremely anemic or the baby has G6PD deficiency (ask your doctor or midwife). Designs usually last 7-10 days, depending on body chemistry, how long the paste was allowed to soak in, and location on the body. The color will be a light orange at first and darken to a richer shade over 2 days.

Kit Contains:

• 15 grams finely sifted fresh red henna powder with sugar
• premeasured Bulgarian Lavender essential oil
• 1 roll hypoallergenic medical tape
• 1 reuseable professional plastic applicator bottle
• 1 professional stainless steel applicator tip, size medium

cotton swabs and sugar

• glitter gel in an applicator cone (used to embellish henna art)
• pack of crystal bindis (gems used to adorn henna art)
