CASTING BY MJ
Menu
We are excited to be offering Belly Casting services to mamas in the Bronx, New York.
Our belly casting services and parties make a beautiful three-dimensional memento that is uniquely you and a unique keepsake for Parents and Baby. Your belly cast will be preserved and viewed as one of a kind art piece that can be painted and embellished to suit your nursery or decor. Completed projects present a wonderful, whimsical piece of art and an expressive symbol of love. An experience you don’t want to miss out on.
It is a simple but elaborate process, using plaster bandages. After the cast is molded it needs at least 24 hours for it to fully dry. You can decorate your belly cast or you can hire us to create a beautiful masterpiece for you. To achieve the desired cast, the pregnant mother is consulted on her preference of position, pose and style. Petroleum Jelly is applied to protect the skin, followed by the belly casting materials which creates the form. The process takes about 30-50 minutes depending on how elaborate the cast is and an additional 10-15 minutes for the cast to set. The expectant mother can enjoy a relaxing foot massage while listening to soft music.
Invite your closest friends and family to be apart of the plastering process to make lasting memories while bonding with mom and baby. Please advise the spa coordinator on how many guests you will bring to your appointment.

Smooth Finish– We trim the edges and cover the cast with additional plaster in any thin spots, a layer of plaster inside and out, and 2-3 layers of gesso.
