How the personalize baby gift, "baby mold, Christmas ornament kit

ceramic footprint mold kit is created

1. Ceramic clay is rolled and hand built and cut out to size

2. Drying time can vary from 5-10 days. Ceramic clay shrinks as it dries and clay needs to be completely dry before going into the kiln. Any moisture left in the clay will make it explode while firing in the kiln.

3. Cleaning and sanding piece helps clean any rough edges before final bisque fire

4. Bisque Firing lasts 24 hours and all Ceramic pottery pieces need to be put in the kiln for this first firing. This is when the clay is turned into hard stone. The kiln takes between 6-8 hours to reach about 1900 degrees and approximately 12 hours to cool.

5. Glaze Painting can be done several different ways - I mainly paint my glazes on

6. Glaze Firing takes 24 hours. The ceramic clay work will go in the kiln for one last firing. Kiln temperature will reach approximately 2200 degrees which turns the glaze into a glass like coating

*Red or Sheer white ribbon included.

*Kiln Fired Twice...First bisque fired then Glazed fired for a smooth glass like finish. This is not just One bisque fire and then painted with a stain, acrylic paint and marker. Please check before you buy to find out.

* You may still order for all the Christmas 's to come. If it is a gift, I can send picture postcard that has Snowman on it to let family know it will be arriving.

* Each baby snowman Christmas ornament may vary from picture above and will have its own look.

*When buying, please include child's name, age. I will engrave on back of ornament name,age and year

*approximately 10 weeks turn around time after mold is returned. Holes are added for hanging w/ ribbon, unless requested for no holes.
