I found this on here while looking for an original gift to get for my finance's mother (whose in love with her cat). After seeing the results I put it on my amazon wish list for Christmas. Its rather large (8 inch square) And i recommend getting your own add-ins from your local craft store (stamps, clear multi-colored rocks, stones, ribbon, waterproof paint...) to personalize the stone more.

This was a fun project. I now have a beautiful memorial of my beloved dog.Be patient and allow the cement to set up before doing paw prints-if too soft will not work. Plenty of time to do the art work.

Thank you soooo much! This product worked great for me! I posted a pic of my finished product too! I used maybe a little over 1 cup and 2 teaspoons of water. The mix was pretty thick but I didnt want it to be mushy and figured I could always add more water. I bought some various wooden letters and stones at a craft store and put glitter on the letters. I just thought it made it a little cuter. But as far as the mix and the kit in general? It fit my need and worked just as I needed it to.

I found this kit messy and difficult. I think I added too much water, although I did follow the directions to add one cup. Then I think I tried doing the paw prints too early, although I followed the instructions stating that you could do them immediately. My dog got stressed out because I put her paws in the mixture so many times to try and get a better print. I'd recommend adding the cup of water a little at a time and then waiting a bit to do the print. I admit that I'm not very artistic so perhaps other people would get better results!

This kit is perfect, you can use your own mold(s) if you want, you don't have to make a stepping stone, be creative! If your child wants to make one, then BUY TWO. This is a project for an adult who is attentive to detail and PATIENT. It was very humid when I made mine, so it took a long time to dry, water kept forming on the top, but I still got it done. Be careful not to add too much water, follow the instructions carefully. Regarding the bad review posted here, they have to suggest wearing a mask to cover themselves to not get sued by someone who decides their lung cancer was caused by breathing cement dust. I didn't smell anything. The best way to protect your pet's paws is to lay saran wrap down on the wet cement, push it down so it sticks lightly and flat, then push his/her paw down on top. Works like a charm.

I purchased four other Paw Prints for my and my son's dogs. Two of the dogs have died and I'm so happy that I have their paw print for a great memory.

I wish I never bought this product. I was excited to receive and when I opened and read instructions it said to put on a mask and that it could irritate my pet's paws. I wanted to have a memory of my kitty to last for years, but am ready to put this in the trash. Very unhappy and wish instructions were not so difficult and toxic.

very cool, but a lot harder than i remember this being to create last time i made one a few years ago. it's almost impossible to get the mixture to the right texture & make a smooth enough surface(as seen in pics & instructions) so the paw print comes out decent looking and if you are lucky enough to do so, to have any remaining room for any writing and/or decorating. it may have been the air temp tho that affected this, last time i did it was summer & humid outside & so was easier to smooth the pallet & keep the mix from drying out before it was even poured. i did this time in my kitchen in dead of winter with the window cracked since i was dying from the fumes of the mixture. i think this made the mix a come out funky. you need to do this OUTSIDE!!! it creates soooo much dust when mixing, even when just emptying the powder into a bucket!!! be prepared to throw away whatever u use to make the mixture in, not simply "rinse it out" as the directions say. that stuff is like concrete it clogs any drain, go to dollar store & get a cheap bucket. overall cute & memorable keepsake, but creates a mess not to mention u need to wash the dog's paws off after really well with soap & hot water so that goop doesn't cake on them so plan also to end up giving ur dog a bath too after fussing with this mix stuff for an hour!! i'm opting next time for the kit where it's just a paw print made using paint & then framed.

We bought this stone kit because we needed to put our beloved Great Dane down due to cancer. We did the kit the morning of "dooms day" and it turned out beautifully. We are very happy with our stone and will always have it to cherish and remember him by.

Is to be a Christmas gift to my brother's two "dog children"! Cannot wait to see him use it - it is a happy thing!
