Kasia Lew , Mother of 2, practiced extended breastfeeding & tandem nursing
From Mother’s Heart to Forever Keepsakes
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 firsthand the deep bond created during this intimate season of motherhood.
After months of research and development, MILKIES® launched on Mother’s Day 2016 as a home-based operation. It quickly grew into an international brand, now serving 70,000+ mothers across 50+ countries who want their stories preserved as wearable keepsakes.
DIY by MILKIES® was created by listening closely to customers. Many mothers shared hesitation about sending breastmilk to a third party. With Kasia’s background in computer linguistics and multimedia, she built a complete DIY kit supported by step-by-step video guides, so moms can create confidently at home.
DIY by MILKIES® is the only kit that preserves liquid breastmilk in resin without altering its natural state. That commitment to authenticity and quality reflects Kasia’s belief that your keepsake should feel as real as the journey it represents.

The diy breastmilk earring that feels like real jewelry
Some memories don’t want a scrapbook. They want weight, shine, and a place on your body where you can reach for them without thinking, on days you miss it, and days you’re finally ready to let it go.
By Kasia Lew, Founder of MILKIES®
A small object for a very big season
The day you realize you’ve stopped counting feeds is oddly quiet. Not triumphant, not tragic, just quiet. The body that used to keep time in ounces and minutes suddenly feels like it’s switched calendars. And in that hush, a question appears that’s less practical than it sounds: what do you do with the part of your life that lived in your milk?
That’s where a diy breastmilk earring becomes more than a craft project. It’s a way of keeping something that otherwise vanishes. Not a photograph, not a lock of hair tucked into an envelope, but a piece you can wear on a work call, at a wedding, on a supermarket run, without having to explain anything to anyone.
There’s also the question people don’t always say out loud. Sending breastmilk to a third party can feel intimate in a way that’s hard to describe. It’s not just logistics; it’s trust. For some mothers, the idea of mailing it away is fine. For others, it’s a hard no, even when the desire for a keepsake is intense.
A diy breastmilk earring answers that tension with a simple promise: you can make it yourself, at home, without handing your story to anyone else. The best versions don’t ask you to compromise on what it looks like, either. They’re not “cute for a DIY.” They’re jewelry.
If you’ve been searching for a diy breastmilk earring that feels grown-up, durable, and worth wearing long after the baby years, you’re not alone. The demand isn’t for novelty. It’s for meaning, made solid.
Why we want proof of what we lived through
The pressure to make the moment last
Breastfeeding can be a peak experience and a grind, sometimes in the same hour. It can be tender and also transactional: you are a person, and you are a source. When it ends, by choice or circumstance, many mothers feel a surprising grief, even if they’re relieved. The mind tries to keep up by making meaning: a final photo, a last feed, a ritual. A diy breastmilk earring can become that ritual, because it turns a fleeting substance into a stable object. There’s also the social layer. Modern motherhood is documented, evaluated, posted, compared. The keepsake can start to feel like a performance, something you should do. But the best keepsakes resist that pressure. They are private, even when worn in public. They are not a trophy. They’re a quiet witness.
Earrings are intimate in a different way
A ring is visible to you. A necklace sits close to the center of your body. Earrings do something subtler: they frame your face, the part of you the world meets first. When you choose a diy breastmilk earring, you’re placing the memory near your voice, your expression, your everyday self. Earrings also suit the tempo of parenting. They don’t snag the way long chains can. They don’t need sizing. They can be minimal enough for daily wear and still hold a story that is anything but minimal. A well-made pair reads as design first, symbolism second, exactly what many mothers want.
The trust gap in send-away keepsakes
Not every hesitation is sentimental. Sometimes it’s practical: shipping rules, delays, temperature changes, lost parcels, privacy concerns. But even when the logistics are solid, there’s a psychological barrier. Breastmilk is personal. It’s part of your body’s labor, and often part of your identity during those years. A diy breastmilk earring gives control back to the maker. Control over where the milk goes, when you work with it, and how much you preserve. For many, that control is the difference between “I like the idea” and “I’m actually doing this.”
The keepsake you can make with your own hands
A diy breastmilk earring is exactly what it sounds like: an earring stone, charm, or setting that holds preserved breastmilk, sealed into resin so it can be worn for years. In the last decade, breastmilk jewelry has moved from niche to mainstream, because the desire it answers is universal. We want to carry our stories without having to store them in a box.
The challenge has always been quality. The best professional studios can make breathtaking pieces, but they require you to send your milk away. Meanwhile, many low-cost kits cut corners by asking you to dry the milk, mix it with powders, or blend it into opaque clay-like bases that don’t truly preserve it in its natural form.
DIY by MILKIES® exists in the middle ground many mothers have been waiting for: professional-level preservation that you can do at home. It was developed after MILKIES® had already processed over 100,000 orders in keepsake jewelry, which matters because it means the method wasn’t invented for a quick trend. It was built on hard-earned experience, what holds up, what yellows, what cracks, what people regret later.
The founder, Kasia Lew, came to this with the rare combination of deep personal motivation and technical discipline. As a mother who practiced extended breastfeeding and even tandem nursing, she understood the emotional complexity. With a background in computer linguistics and years running a multimedia agency, she also understood something equally important: if you’re going to ask exhausted parents to make jewelry, the process needs to be genuinely user-friendly.
So the kit is designed like a miniature workshop. You get the tools. You get the components. You get a step-by-step video guide that talks you through the moment you’re most likely to second-guess yourself. And you get jewelry options that don’t look like placeholders. There are multiple earring styles, plus rings, necklaces, and a bracelet, available in silver, gold-plated, and rose gold-plated finishes.
If your goal is a diy breastmilk earring that feels personal, controllable, and still polished, this is the concept in its most mature form.
- Make a diy breastmilk earring at home without shipping your milk anywhere
- Follow a step-by-step video guide designed for real life at the kitchen table
- Use a kit built on MILKIES® experience from over 100,000 keepsake orders
- Choose from earring styles and premium metal finishes that look like everyday jewelry
- Keep your breastmilk preserved in its natural liquid form rather than drying it or blending it into powders
But “DIY” can mean wildly different things. Some kits treat preservation like a rough art project: dry the milk, grind it, hope for the best. Others require chemistry confidence and a tolerance for unclear instructions. What separates a diy breastmilk earring you’ll still love in ten years from one that lives in a drawer is the preservation method, and the way the resin is designed to work with liquid breastmilk, not against it.
What preservation really means when resin meets breastmilk
Breastmilk is not a static ingredient. It’s a complex biological liquid containing fats, proteins, sugars, and water, components that behave differently over time if they’re not stabilized. That’s why “just add resin” is rarely enough. In many DIY approaches, the workaround is to remove what makes breastmilk breastmilk: dry it into a powder, mix it with fillers, or turn it into a paste that’s easier to embed but no longer resembles its original state.
DIY by MILKIES® was developed around a patented preservation technology that stabilizes full liquid breastmilk in resin. The practical implication is the one mothers care about most: you can make a diy breastmilk earring without drying your milk, without mixing it with powders, and without removing anything from it. The milk is preserved in its pure, natural form.
Why does liquid matter? Because drying changes the structure and appearance. Powder-based methods can look chalky or overly opaque, and they can lead to inconsistent results depending on humidity, temperature, or how thoroughly the milk was dried. Liquid preservation, by contrast, aims for a more authentic look, often a soft, pearly stone effect that feels like a memory rather than a craft material.
This is also where durability enters the conversation. Resin cures through a chemical process. If the embedded material is unstable, the final piece can discolor, separate, or develop micro-bubbles over time. A system built specifically for liquid breastmilk is designed to manage those risks from the start, not patch them after the fact.
Authority matters here, too. MILKIES® didn’t arrive at this method in a vacuum. The brand has served over 100,000 customers in more than 50 countries, and it holds a 5/5 star rating from over 2,000 reviews across platforms like Facebook and Google. DIY by MILKIES® is what happens when a studio-level practice is translated into a kit, carefully, and with the humility to assume the maker is busy, tired, and still worthy of a beautiful result.
Proof that the method holds up
DIY by MILKIES® builds on the MILKIES® track record of over 100,000 keepsake orders worldwide and a 5/5 star rating from 2,000+ reviews, translating professional preservation know-how into a home kit that supports real parents, not hobbyists.
Your kitchen table becomes a small studio
A diy breastmilk earring begins long before the resin cures. It begins with choosing a moment. Not the perfect moment, just one that belongs to you. A nap window. A quiet evening. A weekend morning when the house is still. The box arrives in a pink and blue design that feels intentional rather than clinical, with compartments that make the process feel less like rummaging and more like preparing. Inside, the kit lays out the experience for you: the tools, the blank jewelry pieces, and a large work mat that turns any table into a clean, defined workspace. It’s a small thing, that mat, but it changes the mood. It says: this is allowed to matter. You set out what you need, and instead of squinting at vague paragraphs, you press play on the step-by-step video guide. The voice of the guide becomes a kind of calm companion, the way good instructions should be. You’re not improvising. You’re following a process refined by a brand that has spent years seeing what can go wrong and designing around it. Then there’s the part people rarely describe honestly, the feeling of handling breastmilk again when the intensity of those months has passed. It can be tender. It can be strange. It can bring back the physical memory: the weight of the baby, the late-night stillness, the ache, the pride, the boredom, the devotion. Making a diy breastmilk earring doesn’t flatten those emotions into a single narrative. It lets them exist. As the resin begins its work, the milk shifts into something that looks like a stone pulled from a private shoreline. Pearly, milky, softly luminous. You start to understand why earrings are such a fitting form. When you eventually wear them, the keepsake won’t announce itself. It will simply sit there, near your face, like a secret you don’t need to keep hidden. And when the piece is finished, you haven’t merely bought a symbol. You’ve made one. That difference is felt every time you fasten the backs and catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror, not as a mother in a marketing image, but as a person with history, skill, and tenderness still intact.
- Set up your work mat and choose your earring setting
- Measure and prepare your breastmilk according to the video guide
- Combine the preservation components with resin as instructed
- Pour, cure, and set your diy breastmilk earring components into the final jewelry piece
Choosing between send-away services and bargain kits
When people search for a diy breastmilk earring, they’re often comparing three paths: send-away services, low-cost DIY kits, and a premium DIY kit that borrows standards from professional studios.
Send-away services can produce exquisite results and remove the need to do anything yourself. But they also require trust in shipping, handling, and timelines. For many parents, especially those who feel protective of their milk or uneasy about mailing a biological material, that handoff is the sticking point.
Bargain DIY kits solve the privacy problem, but they often introduce another one: compromised preservation. Methods that rely on drying, powders, or clay-like bases can be inconsistent. They can also produce a look that feels more like a craft token than jewelry you’d genuinely choose on a day you’re dressing for yourself.
DIY by MILKIES® positions itself as professional at home. The kit is designed to be complete, tools, materials, a large work mat, and a step-by-step video guide, while centering its patented liquid breastmilk preservation method. In other words, you can make a diy breastmilk earring at home while still aiming for a finish you’d be proud to wear outside the “mom sphere.”
The practical details matter, too. With multiple jewelry options in the kit, earrings included, along with necklaces, rings, and a bracelet, you’re not locked into one format. And with support across regions through local teams in places like Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada (plus production facilities in Poland), the brand is structured to help customers beyond the checkout page. In keepsake work, that kind of support is not extra. It’s part of the product.
A memory you do not have to store away
There’s a particular kind of loneliness in realizing a chapter has ended. Even the happiest transitions can feel like a door closing behind you. A diy breastmilk earring doesn’t keep you stuck in the past, and it doesn’t demand you romanticize what was hard. It simply gives the chapter a physical form, small, wearable, and resilient. Years from now, the details will blur. You may forget the specific rhythm of those days, the exact weight of the baby in your arms, the night feeds that felt endless. But you’ll still know you did it. You’ll still know what it cost, and what it gave you. Jewelry can’t tell the whole story, but it can keep a piece of it close, in a way that doesn’t require an audience. If you want a diy breastmilk earring that honors the intimacy of breastfeeding while staying true to what jewelry should be, beautiful, lasting, and made to live with you, then making it yourself may be the most fitting tribute of all.
When you’re ready, choose your setting, clear a small space on the table, and let the keepsake take shape in your hands.
