Original Belly Works Plaster Casts

— September 9, 2008 — Art & Design
Many mothers-to-be find a special way to commemorate their pregnancy experience; these plaster casts by Original Belly Works take preservation to new heights.

An Original Belly Works take-home kit allows a pregnant woman to create a plaster cast of her pregnant belly, then send it back to be transformed into a fiberglass sculpture. You can then either decorate the sculpture on your own or employ the services of the Original Belly Works design team, who can help create your final design for you.

The finished fiberglass belly molds include an Original Belly Works pouch where mothers can enclose notes, keepsakes and other trinkets as a beautiful time capsule of pregnancy.

3. Emotional Pregnancy Keepsakes - Businesses can tap into this trend by providing emotional pregnancy keepsakes that not only preserve the physical form of a pregnant belly, but also offer a space for mothers-to-be to store sentimental items and memories.
Industry Implications
