Before you get started, remember to read all the instructions carefully! Keep all packaging and materials out of the reach of children, and please wear a mask and protective gloves if you are sensitive to smell or epoxy, or would prefer to take extra precautions during the process.

 

Part 1 — Preserve Your Breast Milk by Turning It into Powder

Part 1 will take about 15-20 minutes

    1. Heat the milk in your pan on your stove for a few moments.
    2. Add the entire packet of the milk preservation powder.
    3. Mix slowly until it reaches a paste-like consistency.
    4. Spread the paste evenly onto the parchment paper. Then store it in a safe place until it dries.

Each kit comes with step-by-step-instructions that explain the process in more specific detail, but basically, that’s it for Day One! You’ll have to wait around 48 hours—which is honestly probably the hardest part—before crushing the milk into powder.

  1. Once the drying process is complete, grind the preserved breast milk into a fine dust using your mortar and pestle, or the back of a spoon. Continue the process until you’re left with a fine powder, then scoop the powder into the provided cup and set aside.

Part 2 — Use Your DIY Kit to Make a Breastmilk Stone

  1. Set up your jewelry and all of your supplies.
  2. Mix Part A and Part B slowly for 2 minutes.
  3. Let the mixture stand for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add your breast milk powder to the resin.
  5. Add any inclusions you want (we provide pearl shimmer, white pigment, and opal flakes), but you can add any other flakes you want, which you can buy on Amazon!
  6. Using our mixing tools, slowly drip the resin/milk mixture into the jewelry setting/cup; keep filling it up until it creates a slight dome effect.
  7. Let it stand for a few minutes, then you can use a small torch or the straw provided to get rid of bubbles that may rise to the top.
  8. Let your jewelry sit in a safe place for about 24 hours.
  9. Store leftover dried breast milk in the small bottle provided. Use a funnel to carefully pour the dried milk into the small bottle.
  10. Enjoy Your Breastmilk Jewelry!

You did it! Congratulations on enjoying your beautiful new jewelry! And whenever you’re not wearing your breast milk piece, remember to protect it by storing it in the small pouch we provide. Take it from us—keeping it away from harsh UV light and other jewelry will help you enjoy your personalized keepsake for years to come.

Don’t worry if you still have questions—we’ve made sure that once you receive your actual kit, our step-by-step paper instructions and QR codes will provide all the details and specifics you need. If you want to add your placenta, a lock of hair, your child’s umbilical cord, dried flowers, or metallic flakes and shimmers, our QR codes and paper instructions will answer those questions as well. And since each kit comes with enough materials to make up to 15 separate breastmilk stones, we’ve also provided information on how and where to source other jewelry settings so you can continue along your DIY journey!
