DIY Breastmilk kit

Breast Milk

Upon receiving your breast milk, we'll notify you of its safe arrival. Our organized system involves assigning a dedicated labeled container to each order. This ensures that your milk is correctly handled for the keepsake creation process. We label, heat, and cool the milk to eliminate bacteria. After preservation and rapid drying with added preservatives, the milk is sealed in your personal container to dry for 24 hours. It's then transferred to a labeled zip lock bag with preservation date, your name, and order number. We retain preserved milk for 3 years, unless you specify otherwise. For crafting, 10ml of milk, either pumped or hand-expressed, is sufficient.

Cremation & Memorial

Upon receiving your cherished inclusions, you'll get an email confirming their safe arrival. Each client gets a dedicated container, where we add your order form and any requested notes along with your loved one's precious ashes or inclusions. Cremation orders receive top priority as we understand the emotional significance. We're meticulous about using the right amount of cremations to avoid any waste, ensuring utmost care in crafting your keepsakes. After crafting begins, the cremations go back into your container, stored securely in our studio. Before crafting each cremation keepsake, we offer a personal blessing as a mark of respect for their departed soul. It's an honor to be part of this sacred process.

Hair

We can use as little as one strand of hair in a keepsake, if you would like it to be a little thicker,  Please ensure that we have a matchstick width and about 1 centimetre long. for beads we do request 3 centimetres length to ensure it wraps around the bead fully, remembering if the hair is white it can be transparent once in resin, a good way to check this is to dip the hair in a glass of water if it goes clear you know that it will be clear in resin.
