DIY Breastmilk Jewelry – The Magic Keepsake Guide
It’s easier than ever before to make breastmilk jewelry at home with inexpensive kits including fast acting UV resin and free tutorials. You can make yourself a special breastfeeding memento or even launch your own startup for under $50 with Keepsaker Supplies.
How Is It Made?
Our Breastmilk Preservation Powder with free instructions here is super easy and we have tons of free YouTube tutorials (scroll down!). You could send your milk off to a professional but if you’re crafty and have the “I can do it myself at home” attitude (if you can dye your hair, you can make breastmilk jewelry!) then why not have a go? Just keep a bit of milk back in the freezer just in case.
The Science of Preservation – DIY Breastmilk Jewelry Settings
The jewellery settings (Rings/Pendants) can be purchased by themselves or as a DIY breastmilk jewelry kit, where the powder and resin are included. When it arrives you just scan the QR code on the kit to get to one of our tutorials but please watch a few to get some ideas.
You might get a couple of practice settings or a high-quality jewelry-grade silicone mold. By heating the milk, mixing the powder until it forms a paste, drying the compound, grinding and finally casting it into resin you’ve got your milk safe. Get a smooth, pearlescent finish by including the shimmer or keep it classic.
Help When It’s Needed
We offer peer-to-peer advice on avoiding common mistakes, such as air bubbles in the resin or ensuring the milk compound is completely dry before casting. You’re welcome to join our Facebook group too or our WhatsApp, just ask our team after your order arrives. We are hugely supportive and we can recommend other groups too. You don’t have to just get supplies from us at Keepsaker Supplies, there are some other amazing companies we see doing great work to support DIYers.
More than just a gem
The finished piece is more than jewelry—it’s a badge of motherhood. Here’s our list of breastmilk jewelry kits and we can’t wait to see what you make!
