Family Kit
While it was rather stressful doing it (as expected with a 4 & 5 year old!) it has turned out brilliantly. Our 5 year old wouldn't stay still so his hand moved away, but we still love it. I would definitely recommend these kits, such a special keepsake.
So cool!
Bought as a gift for my Mum and planned to get all the grandkids in with her. I knew it would be tough with two particular smallies, so I saw a video of doing a cast with a few people, then having other people hold that cast to make another mold. Thought it was a great idea!
So had my mum with two little ones first and found a narrower plastic bucket to do the job. We had a no thermometer with us, so there was a bit of argument as to what 21° was. I am so glad we divided the mixture in two, because the mold was setting while I was mixing it!
So definitely recommend starting with COLD WATER if you are unsure of temperature.
So that mixture was dumped and we started round two with cold water. Used the same narrow bucket of ours since we had less mixture. It was a tight squeeze with mum and 4 grandkids, aged 9 months, 3, 5 and 7. We just got them to shove their hands in any way they could. The 3 year old was squealing, but we made an exciting game of counting up to 100, which continued on to about 120 seconds.
What can I say.. AMAZING! We are so pleased with how it turned out. With our own mistakes I honestly thought it was going to be a disaster, but no! Captured so much beautiful detail. My mum is going to treasure forever.
Tip: use a sewing needle to pluck out alginate in tight crevices.
Have 4 friends expecting babies soon and will be buying casts for all of them!
Memories captured and such a easy to use kit
I bought two kits back in 2017. I used one kit to cast 4 adult hands to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday. And I used the second kit with my family of two adults and two children. The kit is easy to use but one needs to read the instructions carefully to ensure no important step is missed out.
Couple of pointers for others if that helps you- there will be some mess on the floor or working table but no big damage at all. So cover up your surface area properly. All meds is easily wiped off later.
Exceeded Expectations
From order to delivery and creation your casting kit has exceeded expectations!
We ordered Tuesday and it arrived today and after reading the instructions we got to it.
Have attached a picture of the final product which I'm so in love with ❤️ mine, my husbands and my mum and dad's hands to forever remember this odd time we're in!
Thanks for the amazing service, please stay safe!
Such fun and fab results!
Such fun and fab results! I bought this as a Christmas present to me - with my husband away so much and our sons moved away it’s not often all four together- the men humoured me as were sceptical but we’ve been blown away with the result! It still needs a little cleaning up and to dry but the detail is amazing- will definitely be buying again as presents- thank you Edinburgh Casting Studio! #happycasting
Family Kit Review
Relatively easy to do with 2 teens and a four year old, and brought tears to their Nan and Bamps eyes when given as an Christmas gift from them. Really pleased with the result
Family Kit
Thanks so much for this fantastic casting kit! My kids had great fun doing this with me!
So glad we did a family cast
Husband has been very ill. So glad we did a family cast before the children left home. Now we can be “together” always. Thank you Edinburgh Casting Studio
Would definitely recommend
Used cheaper product previously to make our hand cast but they didn’t work so decided to try the Edinburgh casting studio at home kit and the end result is just perfect. Would definitely recommend.
Highly recommended for those who want a good memory!
Arrived in no time! The instructions are in English, but with Google it takes a moment to translate them! My parents and I had a lot of fun doing it! Only advice for those who do it: do it outside the home! Because the mixing times of alginate must be very fast so a little of the mixture sprayed out of the bucket! :-) Highly recommended for those who want a good memory!

I bought the family casting kit. We read the instructions a couple of times before we attempted it, the instructions were easy enough to understand.

Gift from parents
My parents got this gift for me & my family. What an amazing experience we had. Both my son & daughter loved the experience & the staff were amazing from start to end. The end result was truly special and when we get visitors to our home everyone comments on it and loves it. What a great gift for a family and a beautiful memory to always look back on.

So pleased with our casting

Can't believe how well it's turned out
Sent off for the family hand casting kit to do it ourselves at home and can't believe how well it's turned out! I was a little dubious given my children aged 5 and 7 are such wrigglers but I am so pleased at the results! Something special to keep before their little hands get too big to want to hold ours. [Submitted 28th Oct 2016 via Facebook]
Excellent!
We were so worried about making the cast but it was really simple to do and now we have an amazing gift for my mum in law to treasure forever. A really lovely idea and so easy do to. Excellent! [Submitted 19th Nov via Facebook]
Great Results
I have recently done one of these castings for a family of four. My husband, myself my 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Both my husband and myself sat and read the instructions and then set to it. I was nervous to start with due to having a daughter on the autistic spectrum who struggles to stay still.
This was so easy to do and we had everything prepared. The five minutes waiting time for it to set went well due to being able to watch and feel the changes to the mould. It is a love family item to have a a big talking point from visitors. So much detail is shown in the casting. Give yourself time with nothing to do and you will end up with great results.

Will treasure it forever
Like others I was sceptical about the home kit as you only get one chance but it's amazing and I totally love it. Will treasure it forever
