To make your nursing bracelet:
Knot one end of the string, then string on a starter bead.
String your
first number bead, or the bead you plan to use to represent the numbers on a clock. This bead represents 1:00pm.
Add your next three beads to the string. These beads represent 1:15pm, 1:30pm and 1:45pm respectively.
Now string the second number bead for 2:00pm. Follow with another three beads to represent the subsequent timings (2:15, 2:30 and 2:45pm).
Repeat process, until you've reached the bead representing 12:45pm.
Finish with a bead similar to your starter bead, to indicate the end of the bracelet.
Now knot the end of the bracelet. If you're using wire, remember to tuck the ends into the starter and ending beads so they don't poke you or baby!
You're done when you've attached the clip-on charm. This should be used as your marker.
Pssst... If you can't find beads with numbers, grab a permanent marker and mark the first bead of each hour. Your nursing bracelet also makes for a lovely keepsake, so don’t throw it out the moment you realise you don’t need it anymore!
