How to make Teething Rings with Silicone Beads? Find a clean and well-lit area to work on your teething rings. Lay out your supplies and ensure that everything is easily accessible.
Design Your Teething Ring
Select the silicone beads you want to use for your teething ring. Consider using different colors and shapes to create an interesting and visually appealing design. Lay out the beads in your desired pattern to visualize how they will look on the teething ring.String the Beads
Cut a piece of nylon cord or silicone cord to your desired length, leaving some extra length for tying knots. Thread one end of the cord through the teething ring and tie a knot to secure it. Begin stringing the silicone beads onto the cord, following your chosen design. Make sure to leave enough space between the beads for flexibility and easy gripping.
Secure the Ends
Once you have strung all the beads, thread the other end of the cord through the teething ring and tie another knot to secure it. You can use needle-nose pliers to help pull the cord through the tight spaces if needed. Ensure that the knots are tight and secure, as safety is paramount.
Test for Safety
Before giving the teething ring to your baby, thoroughly inspect it for any loose beads or potential choking hazards. Give it a gentle tug to ensure that the beads are securely attached to the ring. If everything looks good, you’re ready to let your little one enjoy their new teething ring!
