<p>Nursing necklaces retail on the web anywhere from $13.50 to $125 plus shipping, but it would be a fun project for a mother or even a mother and her older children to make bead necklaces at home. There are several bead stores <a href="http://www.eebeads.com/" target="_blank">on-line</a>. Your local <a href="http://www.beadworks.com/Group/BeadworksGroup.aspx" target="_blank">bead store</a> will carry beads for every budget including high-end beads, while craft stores such as <a href="http://www.joannfabrics.com/search/search_results.jhtml;$sessionid$XQFNT4QAAHPGCP4SY5NBIHR50LD3OEPO?CATID=3&#038;keywords=beads&#038;_requestid=495382" target="_blank">Jo-Ann Fabrics</a> and <a href="http://www.michaels.com/art/online/search?pageNumber=1&#038;channel=0&#038;search=yes&#038;keywords=beads&#038;type=0" target="_blank">Michaels</a> will offer less expensive choices. For beading techniques, design ideas and projects, visit one of the many <a href="http://www.pmegio.com/projects/index.html" target="_blank">jewelry craft sites</a> available. I&#8217;ve added some <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/breastfeeding123/safety-follow-up-about-nursing-necklaces/" target="_blank">safety tips</a> for nursing necklaces as well and a <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/breastfeeding123/design-and-instructions-for-nursing-necklace/" target="_blank">free necklace design and step-by-step instructions</a>.</p>
