Baby Products Reviews of Pearhead Babyprints Desktop Frame, Mahogany
Customer Review: Decent
Summary: 4 Stars
Decent product. The frame is nice, just a regular frame. The "putty" is really sticky and a bit hard to handle. I did not have much trouble but I can understand the frustrations listed in other reviews. I was able to get 1 hand and 1 foot print on the putty. I let it sit in some tinfoil for about a week and the material is still soft, but the impressions have not changed as some others have mentioned.
For those who buy this, some tips.
-Wash your hands well.
-Any spec of dust WILL STICK TO IT (do not let it fall on the carpet like I did).
-When getting the putty out of the foil, use the putty itself to get it off the packaging (kind of like using tape to remove any tape residue left on a surface... if that makes sense).
-For a flat surface, i just wrapped tinfoil around the piece of glass from the frame (careful not to break the glass).
-The roller worked well for me to flatten the putty.
-I didn't need to knead the putty, I just rolled it into a cylinder and flattened it with the roller.
-If you mess up, DO NOT PANIC. Just start over. This is suppose to be fun.
-The putty takes a long time (days) to "dry/harden". I left it on the tinfoil COVERED (if you don't cover it, dust will get onto it... trust me) for like 1 week and it's still a little soft.
I've read in other reviews that there are better products out there. Someone mentioned Target. This is the only time I've used something like this so I don't know. This worked fine for me. Hope this helps.
Customer Review: Wonderful keepsake

I read the other reviews of this product before ordering it and before attempting to make the foot casting. The material for casting is great - it's like a lightweight foam material that is already mixed and ready to go (Another kit a friend bought me required you to mix ingredients). The material in this Babyprints kit stays moist so you can re-do footprints until you get them right. And I completely bypassed the adhesive included in the kit and instead used a hot glue gun to mount the footprint in the frame. Also, I don't think it mentions this in the product description, but included in the kit are 3 mats - 2 have 5x7 cut-outs and one is for a 4x6. It's nice because you have more options on picture sizes. I actually ended up using the 4x6 for the footprint side because it displays it really nicely.Customer Review: Customer Service Rocks!!!!

I recently received this as a gift for the birth of my new daughter. I had purchased the keepsake box for my other daughter and was so happy with the results that I was excited get another one. I followed all the directions and was able to easily make an impression of my newborn's foot. Well, as it was drying my 2 year old found it and broke it into a gazillion pieces. I was devastated and thought I would have to buy an entire new kit. I decided to give customer service a shot to see if i could buy replacement clay and was told that they would send replacement clay out to me immediately, FREE OF CHARGE!!! Can you believe it!!! It was even my fault. Needless to say I will continue to buy from this company and will rave to all my friends about them! THANKS PEARHEAD!!!!Customer Review: Amazing gift!

This worked perfectly for us! The finished product is so nice! It makes a wonderful gift that looks more expensive than it actually is. The background for the shadowbox is a very pretty sage green, which looks quite nice against the mahogany wood. The molding material is very easy to use--we actually rolled it out three times (we weren't satisfied with the first two footprints and just kept rolling it out and trying again). It looked just as fresh and clean on the third try! Don't bother trying to use the rolling pin--I have no idea why they include it, because it is useless (kept sticking to the material). We used a clean metal spray paint can, and it worked like a charm. I can't get over how lovely it looks once it's assembled!Customer Review: piece of cake!

I remember doing something like this when I was a kiddo and wanted to capture a memory of our newborn. This kit was so simple! The "dough" is ready-to-go in a foil pack and all you do is warm it up in your hands. Then you roll it out and smush the foot into it. The best part is if it doesn't come out well you can do it over and over until you get one you like :o) (Imagine with a squirmy infant this might take a few tries). It takes about six hours to dry on top - then you flip it over and it's dry in 24 hours. Doesn't leave any goo on your hands or make a mess. Lastly - there was enough dough to do the hand too and if your kiddo is a newborn they'll both fit in the frame with no trouble.
