These keepsakes are easy to make, and many kits include everything you need in the box. They come with safe impression material, a shaping ring, and a pin to create a hanging hole.  First, unpack everything and gently knead the clay for 2-3 minutes. Roll the clay on a flat surface and use the shaping ring to make a perfect circular shape. Next, use the pin to puncture a hole for string or ribbon to hang your keepsake. The last step is to clean your pet's paw and shave away any excess hair before gently placing it into the impression material to form the mold. Then all you do is let the clay dry for 24 to 48 hours, and you have a lasting memory item for your pet.
