Kasia Lew , Mother of 2, practiced extended breastfeeding & tandem nursing
From one mother’s need to a DIY solution
Kasia Lew’s journey began in 2013 with the birth of her first child, Adam. As a mother who practiced extended breastfeeding, and later tandem nursing two children, she experienced the deep bond that forms during this intimate time and wanted a way to preserve it.
After months of research and development, MILKIES® launched on Mother’s Day 2016 as a home-based operation. It has since grown into an international brand serving 70,000+ mothers across 50+ countries, built around turning breastfeeding memories into lasting keepsakes.
The DIY kit was created after listening closely to customers. Many mothers loved the idea of breastmilk jewelry but hesitated to send breastmilk to a third party. With Kasia’s background in computer linguistics and multimedia, she shaped a complete DIY experience supported by step-by-step video guides.
DIY by MILKIES® is the only kit that preserves liquid breastmilk in resin without altering its natural state, proof of Kasia’s dedication to authenticity and quality, so your necklace keepsake reflects your real journey.

The diy breastmilk necklace making kit worth trusting at home
Breastfeeding ends in a thousand small moments, not one big finale. A well made kit turns a few drops of milk into something lasting, without outsourcing the memory or the meaning.
By Kasia Lew, Founder of MILKIES®
Some memories refuse to stay put
If you’re searching for a diy breastmilk necklace making kit, you’re probably not shopping in the usual sense. This isn’t a casual scroll for something pretty. It’s a quiet attempt to hold onto a season of life that felt both endless and fleeting, measured in feeds, naps, and the soft arithmetic of “just one more day.”
Breastfeeding has a particular talent for disappearing. The hours are intense, repetitive, physical. Then one day the latch is gone, the pump is boxed away, and the body that did all that work is expected to move on as if nothing happened. It’s not melodrama to say that this transition can land like grief, even when you’re ready, even when you’re relieved.
A breastmilk necklace is a way of refusing to let the story evaporate. Not as nostalgia for hardship, but as respect for it. The best keepsakes don’t sentimentalize; they give shape to what was real. They let you remember without needing to explain.
Still, there’s a practical snag. Many mothers love the idea of breastmilk jewelry and then hesitate at the logistics. Sending milk to a third party can feel exposing, or simply inconvenient. DIY kits can look tempting, until you learn how many rely on drying, powders, or shortcuts that change the milk before it ever becomes jewelry.
There is a difference between a craft project and a preservation method. If you want the object to last, you need more than a mold and good intentions. You need a process designed for breastmilk, not one borrowed from generic resin hobbies.
Why this keepsake carries so much weight
The emotional physics of weaning and letting go
Weaning is often described as a practical milestone, but many mothers experience it as a bodily shift with a psychological undertow. Hormones change. Routines change. The private, repetitive act that once anchored the day is suddenly absent, and the absence can feel louder than the act ever was. A breastfeeding keepsake necklace can function like a small, wearable acknowledgement that something consequential happened here. Not everyone wants a framed certificate or a scrapbook page; many want an object that sits close to the body, like a secret. When you choose a diy breastmilk necklace making kit, you’re choosing to mark the transition with your own hands rather than outsourcing the meaning to a service or letting the moment pass unrecorded.
The trust issue with sending milk away
Breastmilk is intimate. It is also, in the simplest sense, a biological material. Mailing it can raise questions that have nothing to do with aesthetics and everything to do with trust, privacy, and control. Some parents worry about loss in transit. Others don’t love the idea of their milk being handled by someone they’ve never met. Even when a company is reputable, the emotional resistance is understandable. That is the honest appeal of a diy breastmilk necklace making kit: the entire process stays with you. Your milk doesn’t leave your home. The story doesn’t leave your hands.
The quality gap between hobby resin and real preservation
A quick search surfaces plenty of “DIY breastmilk jewelry” options, but many kits are essentially generic resin sets with a breastmilk label. They may ask you to dehydrate milk, mix in powders, or create a paste that behaves more like clay than liquid milk. Those methods can produce something wearable, but they also change what you are preserving. There’s also the issue of longevity. Resin work is sensitive to ratios, curing, and contamination. If the underlying method wasn’t designed specifically for breastmilk, you risk yellowing, separation, cracking, or a result that looks less like a keepsake and more like a weekend experiment. Choosing the right diy breastmilk necklace making kit is, in practice, choosing a method that respects both the material and the memory.
The modern answer is professional grade DIY
The smartest solution sits between two extremes: a send away service that feels too far removed, and a cheap craft kit that leaves you guessing. That middle ground is what DIY by MILKIES® set out to build: a do it yourself experience, backed by the same brand that has already fulfilled over 100,000 orders in keepsake jewelry.
DIY by MILKIES® was developed after MILKIES® had years of direct feedback from mothers who wanted the keepsake but didn’t want to mail their milk. The result is not a watered down version of a professional process. It is a kit engineered for home use, built around MILKIES®’s patented technology for preserving liquid breastmilk in resin.
It also respects the reality of motherhood: limited time, limited quiet, and a desire for clear guidance. The kit is designed to turn a kitchen table into a temporary jewelry workshop, with the tools, materials, and a step by step video guide that walks you through the process in real time.
Choice matters, too. The DIY by MILKIES® kit includes multiple jewelry options so your keepsake can match your style rather than forcing you into a single look. You can choose from 4 necklace designs, plus rings, earrings, and a bracelet design, with finishes in silver, gold plated, and rose gold plated.
At the center of it all is a simple promise: keep the milk in its natural form. No drying. No powder mixing. No removing “parts” of it to make it easier to work with. If you’re looking for a diy breastmilk necklace making kit because you want the piece to feel true, that distinction is the whole point.
- Privacy first: your breastmilk stays at home from start to finish
- Hands on meaning: you make the keepsake, not a factory line
- Time realistic guidance: a step by step video guide that reduces guesswork
- Professional at home setup: large workmat, tools, and compartmentalized kit box
- Style choices: multiple necklace designs and finishes rather than one default
The emotional case for a diy breastmilk necklace making kit is clear: you want control, privacy, and a direct connection to the memory. But the deciding factor is usually technical. Breastmilk is not glitter. It’s not pigment. Preserving it inside resin without degrading what it is requires a method built specifically for this material. That’s where patented preservation technology becomes more than a marketing phrase and starts to matter for your finished piece.
What liquid preservation actually changes
Most DIY options on the market treat breastmilk like a problem to be managed. The milk is dried, reduced, or converted into something else so it can behave in resin. That approach can be convenient, but it also creates distance between what you started with and what you end up wearing.
DIY by MILKIES® is built around a different premise: preserve full liquid breastmilk in resin without drying it, without mixing it with any powder, and without removing anything from it. This is not a small detail. It affects color, texture, and how authentic the keepsake feels when you hold it up to the light.
Why does drying matter? Dehydration changes composition and can create a chalky look that reads more like craft filler than preserved milk. Powder based methods often rely on a secondary binder, which may be stable, but it can shift the visual character of the final stone. Some can also introduce unevenness, speckling, or an opaque finish that doesn’t match what people imagine when they picture a breastmilk necklace.
Liquid preservation technology is designed to stabilize the milk so it can be encapsulated in resin while staying true to its natural state. That stability is what protects against common DIY frustrations such as separation, unexpected discoloration, or a pendant that never fully cures the way it should.
MILKIES® has years of experience in this niche, which is part of why DIY by MILKIES® exists at all. After serving mothers across more than 50 countries and building a 5/5 star reputation from over 2,000 reviews on platforms like Facebook and Google, the company had enough process knowledge to translate professional preservation into a structured home kit.
Proof you can feel in the process
DIY by MILKIES® draws on the same know how built through more than 100,000 keepsake jewelry orders worldwide. The DIY line exists because thousands of mothers wanted the control of making it at home, without sacrificing professional level preservation.
Your kitchen table becomes a small atelier
A good diy breastmilk necklace making kit doesn’t just provide materials. It provides atmosphere, clarity, and a sense that you’re being guided by someone who understands what’s at stake. The box matters more than you’d think. DIY by MILKIES® arrives in a beautifully designed pink and blue case with compartments that make the experience feel intentional rather than improvised. There’s a quiet comfort in seeing that everything has a place. It signals that you’re not expected to be a chemist or a jeweler, just a person with a story and an hour to herself. You lay out the large workmat and, for a moment, your home looks different. Not like a nursery, not like a laundry station, not like a place where time is always borrowed. It looks like a workspace. A place for making something that lasts. The step by step video guide does what written instructions often fail to do: it gives you tempo. It tells you what “ready” looks like, how your mixture should behave, and when to wait rather than fuss. That matters in resin work, where impatience is the easiest way to ruin a finish. And then there’s the most personal moment: measuring your milk. The act can be surprisingly tender, even if you’re not the sentimental type. It’s not just a liquid you once pumped at 2 a.m. It is evidence of endurance, care, and the odd bravery of giving your body to someone else’s survival. As the piece cures, you start to see what you were really buying when you searched for a diy breastmilk necklace making kit. You weren’t buying a craft. You were buying a way to close a chapter with dignity. You were giving the work its own artifact. When you finally lift the finished pendant, it isn’t loud. It doesn’t shout “motherhood.” It simply exists, clean and luminous, close to the skin. A private relic that can sit under a sweater, appear in a photo, or rest in your palm on a hard day. The best keepsakes do not demand attention. They offer it back to you when you need it.
- Prepare your workspace using the included mat, tools, and guide
- Measure and combine the preservation components according to the video guide
- Pour into your chosen necklace setting and let the resin cure properly
- Finish and assemble your jewelry piece in the metal finish you chose
Choosing between send away services and DIY shortcuts
The choice usually isn’t “jewelry or nothing.” It’s which trade off you can live with. Send away services are appealing if you want a fully hands off result, and many mothers love them. But if your hesitation is privacy, control, or timing, mailing breastmilk can feel like adding friction to an already emotional moment.
On the other end, low cost DIY sets often promise simplicity while quietly transferring all risk to you. Generic resin kits can be fine for glitter charms, but breastmilk is less forgiving. Drying, powders, and “add this paste” instructions can produce an item that looks more like an imitation stone than preserved milk, and they can leave you wondering how it will age.
A professional grade diy breastmilk necklace making kit aims to remove that gamble. DIY by MILKIES® positions itself as the at home option built on a proven preservation method. You get the intimacy of doing it yourself, plus structured guidance, curated tools, and jewelry designs that look like jewelry, not like a craft fair experiment.
If you know you want a breastmilk necklace, the real question becomes practical: do you want your keepsake made for you, or made by you. The right kit respects that both are valid choices and refuses to treat DIY as synonymous with “cheap.”
A small object that tells the truth
Breastfeeding can feel like it happens in secret, even when it dominates your days. The labor is repetitive and rarely witnessed, the tenderness ordinary only in hindsight. A diy breastmilk necklace making kit is one way of taking that invisible work seriously. Not by turning it into a slogan, but by giving it a form that lasts. DIY by MILKIES® exists because mothers asked for something specific: the privacy of keeping their milk at home, the satisfaction of making the piece themselves, and the confidence that the preservation method would respect the milk’s natural state. It’s also shaped by Kasia Lew’s lived experience of extended breastfeeding and tandem nursing, paired with the kind of process minded design that makes a DIY kit feel calm rather than chaotic. Years from now, you won’t need to justify why you wanted this. You’ll simply have it. A pendant that catches the light and pulls a memory forward, quietly, on your terms.
If you’re ready to keep the story close, choose a diy breastmilk necklace making kit that treats preservation as seriously as you do.
