Press The Paw
Firmly press your pet's paw into the center of the impression material to create a distinct impression. It should be as clear as if your pet had left a paw print in the sand on the beach.
Your finished Hot Paw will be an exact glass replica of your impression. Make sure you are happy with it before you let it dry.
Let it Dry
Let the impression air dry on the tin for48 hours. It is normal for small cracks to appear around the edges of the disc during the drying process.
Mail it back
Mail the impression back to us so we can make your glass print.
*A prepaid envelope is included in your kit.
The Final Print Arrives!
Your very own Hot Paw arrives to be celebrated!
FAQs
-
What is Hot Paws™?
Hot Paws™ is the only way to make a stunning glass keepsake of your furry friends’ paws! Say goodbye to inky paws and clay that cracks over time and hello to a 3D copy where you can feel all those precious details!
-
I messed up my paw print! What do I do?
That’s ok! With Hot Paws™, you can retake the impression as many times as you want! All you need to do is make another snowball with the material and make another impression. Keep doing it until you are happy with the image you created, because just like magic, we’re going to get you a perfect copy of the print you send back to us.
-
My paw print has cracks around the edges now that it’s dry. Is that normal?
Cracks around the edges of your print are totally normal. The material has water in it and as it dries, small cracks can appear around the edges of the impression. This is normal and in no way will affect your casting. In fact, it’s expected.
-
My print impression does not fit back in the tin, what do I do?
No problem. All you need to do is make a snowball again and take another impression. Make sure you use the disc size guide on the bottom of the tin so your disc will fit back inside the tin. If you’re maxing out the size of the disc with your big animal, just pack the sides in a bit without disturbing the impression. Let it dry and send it back to us in the tin.

How durable is the glass?
Our Hot Paws prints are crafted from high-quality, solid glass, meticulously forged by skilled artisans in our Asbury Park studio. This process results in a remarkably durable and substantial keepsake, designed to withstand the test of time. Unlike fragile clay or fading ink prints, your Hot Paws piece is inherently robust, resisting chips and cracks under normal handling and display. It's an heirloom meant to be cherished for generations, a testament to enduring quality and lasting love. While incredibly resilient, like any fine art piece, we recommend displaying it in a safe, stable location away from extreme temperatures or direct impacts to preserve its pristine beauty.

Is it truly timeless?
Absolutely. The concept of "timeless" is at the core of every Hot Paws creation.

This isn't just a souvenir; it's a future heirloom, crafted to transcend trends and generations. A Hot Paws print serves as an enduring, tangible link to cherished memories, ensuring that the love and unique essence of your companion remain beautifully preserved, forever relevant, and always in style.
