use dental floss for a strong beading string–don’t know about clasps, but if you make the necklace long enough, just tie both ends together with a square knot. Good luck.

Barbara, some babies get distracted while nursing or try to play with their mother’s hair, mouth, or even the other nipple. A nursing necklace gives the baby something to focus on, making it easier for the mother to nurse. Such a necklace should be made with non-toxic, baby-safe materials. Usually a nursing necklace is beautiful and can later be worn as a regular piece of jewelry.

I just purchased 2 nursing necklaces from The Laughing Starfish. Not only are they GORGEOUS, but she is so personal and willing to work with the customer. All of her work is one of a kind, but she pictures all of her sold work, and will try to recreate those for interested customers. She also does custom work. I would HIGHLY recommend The Laughing Starfish as a source for nursing necklaces that offer baby something to play with, while Mommy looks stylish.

[...] This gorgeous nursing necklace was designed by b5media’s Tammy Powley, author of Jewelry and Beading. I had written about how to make your own nursing necklace, and offered some safety guidelines, but I didn’t have a specific design to share. Tammy was kind enough to provide this lovely design and instructions for beginning beaders. The best part? She estimates the whole do-it-yourself project costs U.S. $20! [...]

Do you have any more information about what kind of thread and clasps should be purchased for nursing necklaces? I understand that they should be strong enough not to break when the little ones are tugging on them, but I am not at all familiar with jewelry making. Also, any guidance about any types of beads to avoid since they may be chewed on. Thank you!
