BELLY CAST

On Sunday Damien and I created a belly cast. It was extremely messy but a lot of fun. Photos only show so much and it's hard to truly capture how large the belly is during pregnancy so we decided to create a 3-D piece of art to remember this time of our life.

I purchased Rigid Wrap at Michaels and it was such an easy project to do. We simply cut strips out of the roll and Damien one at a time dipped each strip in a bowl of warm water and placed it on my belly and breasts. After many layers we stopped and waited for it to dry. It's still in the

drying phase right now. After it's completely dry we will trim the edges, drill holes to hang it by, and paint it. I am thinking about painting it in the same theme as her room- pink with green polka-dots and then painting her name across the belly with her birth date. When it's all done it will be proudly displayed in our bedroom.
