{"product_id":"clay-pet-paw-impression-moulding-kit","title":"Clay Pet Paw Impression Moulding Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eMake a paw print keepsake while your pet is relaxed. Make sure the air-dry clay is cool, and your pet's paw is clean and dry. Knead the clay to soften it, roll it out to at least 1cm, press the paw in firmly and lift. Leave the impression to dry for 24 hours, turning it over at the 12 hour mark. For best results, leave it for around 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach impression kit includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100g of white air-dry lightweight clay in a resealable bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hole piercing tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon for hanging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is enough clay for 1 to 2 average paw-sized impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant: the clay must be cool, not warm, before you use it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you end up with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raised print of the actual paw, at actual size. It hangs on a tree at Christmas, or sits in a drawer and turns up again in ten years when you are looking for something else entirely. That is rather the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout The Lovely Keepsake Company\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lovely Keepsake Company is a UK family business built entirely around keepsakes, with around 9,700 customer reviews at 4.9 out of 5. Their kits are the ones we would use on our own dogs, which is the only test we apply before stocking anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions, answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to dry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive it 24 hours before handling, turning it at the halfway point so both sides dry evenly. Leave it a full week before you hang it or give it away. Rushing this is the one thing that spoils a good impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many prints can I take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is enough clay for one to two average paw-sized impressions, so you get a second attempt if the first one moves. Knead the clay back together and start again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the clay need to be cool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm clay is too soft and will not hold a clean edge. If it has been somewhere warm, leave it to settle before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work on a wriggly puppy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, with one firm press rather than a long hold. Have the clay rolled out and ready before you go anywhere near the paw, and wait until they are sleepy rather than mid-zoomies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I paint it afterwards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce it is fully dry, yes. Many people leave it plain white and simply thread the ribbon through the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen will it arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDispatched within 1 to 2 working days, with free UK delivery on orders over £30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pet-memorial-keepsakes\"\u003ePet Memorial \u0026amp; Keepsakes\u003c\/a\u003e range, or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-dog-lovers\"\u003eGifts for Dog Lovers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lovely Keepsake Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56909947699586,"sku":"OSP0012","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/9474\/2550\/files\/Pet-Moulding-Clay-Kit_1.jpg?v=1789391651","url":"https:\/\/dukeandmilo.com\/products\/clay-pet-paw-impression-moulding-kit","provider":"Duke and Milo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
