Get Creative with Pressions!

Pressions allows you to be creative.

First make the perfect handprint or foot print in the sand. Next, you can take small light objects such as coins, some gems, anything you would like to be embedded in your print and put it face down in the sand. Do not push them in the sand, just place them on top of the sand. If you would like a sparkle finish, simply sprinkle some sparkles on top of your print.

Next pour the plaster over the sand and let it dry. When you remove the sand you will find your buried treasure! Below are some samples, have fun!

If you would like to put larger items in your print (eg. toy cars, pine cones, shells, etc.) Make the perfect print first, next push your object in the sand till it hits the backboard. Make sure that the object you choose still allows room for the backboard to go on after your print hardens.

You can also make prints of shells, etc. by pushing them in the sand and removing them as you do with your hand or foot. Some suggestions are cookie cutters - to make heart shapes, stars etc.

Instructions If sand has dried out, please add 3-4 tbls. of water. STEP ONE: Place backboard on the front of the frame and attach with elastics provided and lay frame face down on newspaper.       STEP TWO: Fill box with sand       STEP THREE: Use small board provided to smooth out sand.       STEP FOUR: Take child's hand or foot and press firmly in sand. Push gently on each finger, thumb and base of hand. The deeper the print, the better raised plaster print!     STEP FIVE: Mix plaster with one cup of water. Pour plaster mix into frame and smooth out with small board provided.       STEP SIX: Spread plaster to cover edge of wood frame. Let impression dry for 1 hour.       STEP SEVEN: Place backboard on back of frame and attach using flexible clips under tabs. Gently remove the bulk of sand from the print with your hands. End result: a beautiful lasting impression!
