Rated 4 out of 5 by MommyJanMar Fun Project The prior reviews are correct in that the pictures are deceiving on the box AND the amount of water needed is more than instructed. BUT I knew someone who already had worked with this product and I read the reviews first... so I knew what to expect. I used about 9 oz. of water (a little over a cup) and mixed it in a separate container - the extra water gives you plenty of time to stir it up and get out the clumps. Once my mixture was smooth, I poured it into the mold - smoothed it a little with the stick included - then gently wiggled the mold around to get it nice and smooth. After this - just keep checking very frequently until it is set enough for your handprint (you can put the jewels/stones in while you are waiting). It still sets up really quick even when using the extra water - so it is still a fast project. Make sure to wait long enough before taking it out of the mold - it does crack easily if it isn't ready!!I bought extra acryllic jewels since there are not very many included!! I would have bought extra stones too if I'd seen some. I also bought extra paintbrushes since it only came with one.If you want other shapes of molds - you can always buy them separately.Overall, my opinion is - if you know what to expect - you won't be disappointed. 05/07/2010
Rated 3 out of 5 by WitchWitch Box is misleading On the box it looks like you can make several different shape/style stepping stones. In reality, it comes with only one shape/style, the flowers. There was a smoothing tool missing as well. We also didn't know how to put the jewels and mosaic tiles on, the instructions for doing this were not included. It was also extremely difficult to make an impression of your hand. The paste seem to set too quickly to do this. 03/01/2010
Rated 3 out of 5 by KaidsMom Deceiving Picture on the box Dont let the picture fool you.Note the contents of the box contains 1 Round Mold. If you want a Star or Heart you have to mold that shape yourself!The instructions say to mix 1 cup of cool water with the powder in the mold tray. First of all you have no room to stir it around once you add the water. Secondly 1 cup of water was not enough. It starts to harden up so fast you cant even spread it.I found that if I mixed it in my large measuring cup, with 1 1/4 cup of cold water it mixed much better and I was able to pour it into the mold and have a nice finished top.I suppose if you want to mold it into another shape you could use the 1 cup of water it calls for, however like I said it starts to harden up very fast. The instructions say 4-8 minutes. I found it was more like 1-2 minutes. You have to work very fast!!!As far as the included gems and little tiles, you get about 8 gems and 10 tiles. Not enough for every stone as the picture shows. 02/23/2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by proudmaof2 Very Disappointing! I agree with the other reviews, as the box only came with one tray/template. I ended up adding more water than the instructions called for, and even then, the mixture did not turn out very well. It was messy to spread, even after attempting to smooth it out evenly with a butter knife. The mold seemed to set up to quickly to add gems, or do a handprint.This is junk, and I would not recommend this product. 05/10/2010
