Mother Belly Life Casting & Belly Cast Services
Serving Metropolitan & Suburban Chicago
Not "crafty"...? We'll do your belly cast or hand casting for you!
If you're like some of our customers, you may not want to undertake a "do-it-yourself" belly cast or hand casting project on your own. Though Casting Gifts and Mother Belly Casting Kits include all materials needed to complete a casting on your own, there are many good reasons to have a professional do it for you.
- Short on time?
- Low on energy?
- Not good at following directions?
- Don't want the mess at home?
- Want it done right (the first time) - and have someone who knows what they're doing do the work for you?
Your experience is a breeze with our professional Belly Cast and Lifecasting Service!
If you live in the Chicagoland area, our belly casting and 3D lifecasting services are within reach! Specifically, our base of operations is in west suburban Chicago in the DuPage and Will county areas. We're located in southwest Naperville, a mile southeast of 95th Street & Rt. 59. Come to us or we'll come to you to cast your loved ones!
Our Belly Cast and Life Casting Service Fee schedule is separated into categories: Pregnancy Belly Cast Services, 3D Plaster Stand-Alone Hand & Foot Statues, and 2.5D Handprint & Footprint Shadow Boxes. Since the lifecasting possibilities are endless and each project is personalized for the individual customer, service fees are quoted using a "starting from" format. Please call us for an exact quote for your personalized project at 630-922-9097. We'd be happy to talk with you, answer questions about the process, and set up an appointment if you are satisfied with what you hear!
If you are using our services, it isn't necessary to buy a kit!
