So I got this beautiful white PBK tri-fold frame at our baby shower and now that DD is 7 months old I figured I will try to do her handprints. Here's where the problem begins...
I mixed the plaster according to the directions and get it nice an flat in the molding tray. Then I press DD's hand into the plaster and when I pull her hand up, all the plaster come up with it! It looks terrible. I tried to add a bit more plaster but it didnt help (it was either coming up with her hand or made it too hard to make an impression). I am on my second refill package of plaster..uuugghh!
Any ideas? It looks so smooth and beautiful in line but I dont think those results are possible IRL!
TIA
