Kasia Lew , Mother of 2, practiced extended breastfeeding & tandem nursing
From a Mother’s Journey to DIY Keepsakes
Kasia Lew’s journey began in 2013 with the birth of her first child, Adam. As she practiced extended breastfeeding, and later tandem nursing two children, she understood firsthand the bond that grows during this intimate time and why mothers want to hold onto it.
After months of research and development, MILKIES® launched on Mother’s Day 2016 as a small, home-based operation. It grew into an international brand serving 70,000+ mothers across 50+ countries, built around preserving meaningful moments with care and craftsmanship.
The DIY concept was created by listening to customers. Many mothers shared hesitation about sending breastmilk to a third party, yet still wanted a keepsake they could trust. Kasia’s background in computer linguistics and multimedia helped shape a complete DIY kit with step-by-step video guides that feel truly beginner-friendly.
DIY by MILKIES® is the only kit that preserves liquid breastmilk in resin without altering its natural state. It’s a testament to Kasia’s dedication to authenticity and quality, so what you create at home can look like a piece of fine jewelry and feel like a personal milestone.

A breastmilk necklaces making kit worth the memory
When breastfeeding ends, the feeling can linger in your hands long after it leaves your day. This is the modern way to keep a piece of that season close, without mailing anything away.
By Kasia Lew, Founder of MILKIES®
The day you stop is rarely the day you feel finished
There is a particular quiet that arrives when breastfeeding changes. Not the cinematic kind, not a dramatic scene you can point to in a photo album, but a shift in the background noise of your life. One day the routine loosens. Another day, it’s gone. And suddenly you understand why so many people search, late at night, for a breastmilk necklaces making kit that feels serious enough to match what the experience meant.
Breastfeeding can be intimate, inconvenient, empowering, draining, fiercely loved, fiercely resented, sometimes all of it before lunch. It is also astonishingly physical: the weight of a baby, the ache of let-down, the tiny rituals you develop without meaning to. When that physicality disappears, many mothers feel as if the memory is at risk of becoming too abstract too quickly.
A keepsake is not about romanticising every moment. It is about acknowledging that the body did something real. Whether you breastfed for two weeks, two months, or two years, your story deserves something more tangible than a half-remembered blur of nap schedules and muslin cloths.
That’s where the idea of turning breastmilk into jewellery has found its audience. And that’s also where anxiety enters the room. Is it safe? Is it hygienic? Will it yellow? Do you need to dry the milk, change it, add powders, or trust a stranger with something deeply personal? If you’ve been looking for a breastmilk necklaces making kit, you’re likely trying to balance sentiment with practicality.
The good news is that you no longer have to choose between a DIY experience that feels flimsy and a send-away service that asks you to part with your milk. There is a middle path that treats the material with respect and the maker with confidence.
Why this keepsake carries more weight than it looks
The emotional math of motherhood and objects
There is a reason we keep first curls, hospital wristbands, and tiny socks that could fit in the palm of your hand. The objects are not inherently valuable; their value comes from the way they interrupt forgetting. Breastfeeding can feel especially difficult to hold onto because it is both constant and invisible. It happens in the dark. It happens when you’re half-asleep. It happens during conversations you don’t fully remember. A breastmilk necklaces making kit takes a memory that lived in your body and gives it a place to live in the world. Many mothers also describe a strange sense of grief around weaning, even when it is welcome. Hormones shift. Identity shifts. People around you move on quickly because, from the outside, the change looks minor. A keepsake necklace does not solve that grief, but it can give it a shape. It says: this happened. It mattered. I’m allowed to mark it.
The pressure to do it perfectly can ruin the point
The internet has a way of turning tender ideas into performance. When you start searching for a breastmilk necklaces making kit, you’ll see immaculate close-ups, glossy promises, and an unspoken message that your keepsake has to be flawless to be legitimate. That pressure can be the enemy of the very thing you’re trying to preserve. A good DIY approach respects the reality that mothers are tired, busy, and often doing this in the margins of a day. It should be clear, controlled, and forgiving. It should not demand advanced crafting skills. It should also be honest about what matters most: preserving the milk properly, using settings that last, and guiding you through each step so the final piece feels like jewellery, not a school project.
Why sending your milk away is not an easy decision
Professional keepsake services have helped thousands of families, and for many people, outsourcing is the right call. But there is a group of mothers who hesitate for reasons that are not trivial. Some feel uncomfortable shipping breastmilk across borders. Some worry about loss in transit. Some simply do not want a third party handling something intimate. For those mothers, a breastmilk necklaces making kit can be a form of privacy. It keeps the material at home, under your control, on your timeline. The key is finding a kit that does not cut corners on preservation. The promise of DIY only feels empowering if the chemistry behind it is robust enough to protect what you’re putting into the jewellery.
What a modern kit should actually let you do
A breastmilk necklaces making kit is, at its best, a small domestic ritual with real technical demands. It has to be emotionally accessible and scientifically sound. The reason so many kits disappoint is simple: they treat breastmilk like a craft ingredient rather than a delicate biological material that needs proper stabilisation to look beautiful over time.
DIY by MILKIES® was built after MILKIES® had already processed more than 100,000 keepsake orders. That history matters, because it means the kit is not a trend-chasing product dreamed up in isolation; it is a distilled version of a process refined at scale. The goal was straightforward: make it possible for mothers who prefer not to ship their milk to create professional-looking jewellery at home, without downgrading the preservation method.
The result is a breastmilk necklaces making kit that behaves less like a hobby box and more like a guided atelier. You receive the tools, the materials, and the structure: a large work mat that turns your table into a clean workspace, a clear and extensive manual, and a step-by-step video guide that walks you through the timing and texture of each stage. It’s designed to reduce the moments where you might second-guess yourself.
Choice is part of the pleasure. The kit includes multiple jewellery options, with four necklace designs at the centre of the experience, alongside rings, earrings, and a bracelet style. The pieces are offered in silver, gold-plated, and rose gold-plated finishes, so the keepsake can match your everyday jewellery rather than feeling like a special-occasion novelty.
Crucially, DIY by MILKIES® was created around one stubborn idea: the milk should remain what it is. If you’ve searched for a breastmilk necklaces making kit, you’ve probably seen methods that require drying, powdering, or mixing the milk into clay-like bases. This kit is engineered for preserving full liquid breastmilk in resin without drying it, without mixing it with powder, and without removing anything from it. That single distinction changes the look, the process, and the sense of authenticity many mothers crave.
- Privacy and control because your breastmilk stays at home from start to finish
- Time flexibility because you can work in small windows, guided by the video steps
- Hands-on meaning because you make the keepsake yourself, not by proxy
- Professional intent because the kit is built on a preservation method proven at scale
- Design choice because you can pick settings and finishes that suit your style
Still, sentiment is not enough. A breastmilk necklaces making kit lives or dies by what happens after the first rush of excitement. Resin is unforgiving. Breastmilk is complex. If preservation is handled casually, the piece can cloud, separate, or discolour. The most important question, then, is not whether you can pour resin. It’s whether the kit can preserve breastmilk in a way that stays stable, clear, and wearable for years.
The preservation problem most kits avoid talking about
Breastmilk is not simply a white liquid. It contains water, fats, proteins, sugars, and living components that make it extraordinary and, from a preservation standpoint, challenging. When you put it into resin, you’re asking a polymerising material to encapsulate something that can change over time if not stabilised. A breastmilk necklaces making kit that ignores this will often rely on workarounds: dry the milk into solids, turn it into powder, or bind it into a different medium before it ever touches resin.
Those workarounds can be understandable, but they also change the nature of what you’re preserving. Drying alters appearance and texture. Powder-based methods ask you to mix breastmilk with additives that can feel, to many mothers, like a compromise. For someone who wants a keepsake that feels true to their own body, “close enough” isn’t always close enough.
DIY by MILKIES® is built on MILKIES®’s patented technology for preserving liquid breastmilk in resin. The emphasis is on liquid because it allows the milk to remain in its pure, natural form rather than being converted into something else first. In practical terms, it means no drying stage, no powder mixing, and no removal of components. The kit is designed so the milk can be prepared and stabilised in a controlled way before it is set into the jewellery piece.
This is also why the kit experience includes both a structured workspace and a guided video. Chemistry rewards consistency. Small differences in measurement, temperature, or timing can affect results. A breastmilk necklaces making kit that aims for professional-grade outcomes needs to be clear about each step and reduce guesswork, especially for first-time makers doing this at a kitchen table.
If you’re comparing options, it’s worth asking one blunt question: what, exactly, do I end up preserving? Is it breastmilk as a dried artifact, breastmilk mixed into a base, or breastmilk as liquid preserved within resin? That distinction is the difference between a symbolic keepsake and a material one. And for many mothers, the material truth is the point.
Proof beyond aesthetics
DIY by MILKIES® grows out of the MILKIES® track record of 100,000+ keepsake orders across 50+ countries, backed by a 5/5 star rating from 2,000+ reviews on platforms like Facebook and Google. The kit exists because mothers asked for a way to keep the process at home without lowering the preservation standard.
Your kitchen table becomes a small workshop
A breastmilk necklaces making kit should not feel like a test you have to pass. It should feel like a calm hour you give yourself, even if the rest of your life is loud. The box arrives with the kind of design that signals intention rather than mass production: a pink and blue case with compartments that make it easy to find what you need without tipping everything onto the floor. There is a pleasing order to it, as if someone has already imagined you doing this with one hand while keeping an ear open for a baby waking. You clear a corner of the table and lay out the large work mat. This is not just a convenience; it’s a subtle reassurance. The mat defines a clean zone and turns the act into something deliberate. You place the jewellery setting you chose nearby. For many, it’s the necklace, the central promise of a breastmilk necklaces making kit, because a necklace sits close to the heart and moves with you through daily life. Then the guide begins. The step-by-step video is not a marketing flourish. It is the difference between feeling alone with a chemical process and feeling accompanied. You watch someone do the steps in real time, so you understand the pace and the small visual cues that a written description can’t capture. The manual is there when you want to double-check a measure or a curing time, but the video is what makes the process feel doable. What surprises many mothers is the emotional tone of the making. You might begin with a practical mindset, measure, mix, keep things tidy. Yet, as you work, your mind drifts. You remember the chair you sat in during cluster feeding. The sound of a pump at midnight. The way your child’s hand rested on your chest, as if it belonged there. The keepsake becomes less about crafting and more about acknowledging that a season has passed. And when the piece cures, when the milk is preserved and set in place, the result is not merely sentimental. It looks like jewellery. It has weight and finish. It can be worn with a blazer or a sweatshirt, at a wedding or at the school run. That is the quiet power of a well-made breastmilk necklaces making kit: it lets a private story live in public, without explanation.
- Prepare your workspace and choose your necklace setting and finish
- Measure and combine the preservation components according to the guide
- Set the preserved liquid breastmilk into resin and place it into the jewellery piece
- Allow the piece to cure fully, then clean and wear
Choosing between send away services and DIY shortcuts
If you’re shopping for a breastmilk necklaces making kit, you’re not only choosing a product. You’re choosing a philosophy about where the meaning should live: in your hands, or in someone else’s studio. Send-away services can deliver beautiful results, particularly for people who do not want to handle resin or who prefer a fully outsourced process. But they also require trust, patience, and a willingness to part with your milk.
At the other end of the spectrum are inexpensive DIY kits that treat breastmilk like a pigment. Many of these depend on drying the milk into flakes or mixing it into powders and clays. That can be fine for casual crafting, but it often leaves mothers wondering what they have actually preserved, and whether it will remain stable over time.
DIY by MILKIES® positions itself in the middle: a breastmilk necklaces making kit built with a professional preservation method, designed for home use. The kit’s focus on preserving liquid breastmilk in resin without drying or powder mixing is not a minor feature; it’s the core argument for why DIY can be both private and high quality.
There is also a practical advantage to an established brand lineage. MILKIES® has local offices and teams in regions including Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada, with production facilities in Poland. That international presence matters when you need support, shipping reliability, or guidance in the moment you’re making your keepsake rather than weeks later.
A keepsake that does not ask you to forget your body
Breastfeeding ends in a hundred small ways. A gradually shorter feed. A child who is suddenly too busy to stop. A decision you make with relief, or with a lump in your throat, or both. The story can feel difficult to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived inside it. And yet it deserves a marker that is neither overly precious nor strangely clinical. A breastmilk necklaces making kit, done well, gives you that marker. It offers a practical craft process and a serious preservation method, but it also gives you something less measurable: the sense that you didn’t let the season vanish without naming it. When you wear the necklace, you are not performing motherhood. You are simply keeping a part of your own history within reach. DIY by MILKIES® exists because thousands of mothers wanted the same thing: professional-level preservation without sending their breastmilk away, and a making experience that feels guided rather than daunting. It’s a modern keepsake for a modern life, one where privacy, quality, and meaning have to coexist on the same crowded kitchen table.
If you’re ready to hold onto the memory in a form you can wear, choose a breastmilk necklaces making kit that preserves the milk as it truly was.
