Pregnant Belly Casts

For my last two pregnancies, my husband helped me make a cast of my pregnant belly. I basically just sat there while he did all the work. I have had them in storage for over four years not knowing how I would decorate them. This past week, with the help of my daughter's art teacher, I decided to decorate them with tissue paper and modge podge. I have never worked with this medium before and didn't know what the outcome would be. I am super happy with the results. These pictures don't do them any justice. The tissue paper colors are gorgeous. They are vibrant and fun and POP! The modge podge puts a clear coat of protection over the artwork. If you are pregnant and have been thinking about making a belly cast-DO IT-even if you don't know how you will finish it.

Pearl's Belly Cast.

I put her sonogram picture on the belly. I have her birth announcement from the newspaper, her birth announcement photo and birth weight, etc.

Lucy's Belly Cast.
I have Lucy's Sonogram photo on the belly, with her newspaper birth announcement, then I have newspaper cut out words in the rays of the sun.
