Silicone Beads for Dummy Clips, Teethers and Children's Jewellery

Silicone beads are soft to the touch and come in a variety of shapes and colours. In this category, you'll find round beads, cubes, stars, discs, faceted beads, butterflies and hearts — including cubes with letters and numbers for personalised children's accessories.

Silicone beads are mostly used for baby dummy clips and teethers, but they are also suitable for children's bracelets, necklaces, charms and themed accessories. Browse our rich catalogue of colours and shapes and put together a personalised gift for every occasion.

Shapes and colours

You can choose classic rounds or more interesting pieces for personalised accessories:

• Round — the most versatile shape for clips, teethers, bracelets and necklaces.
• Cubes — a big part of the range. Good for alternating with rounds, and the letter and number models let you spell out a name or a short message.
• Stars, hearts and butterflies — they add a themed touch and suit children's bracelets, clips and gifts.
• Discs and faceted beads — the flat, geometric shapes give a different rhythm and can be combined with round beads.

Dive into a rich palette of colourful beads — in white, pink, blue, green, coral and salmon, mixed colours and more.

Sizes and hole

Silicone beads come in 11 different sizes. Their holes come at 2 and 2.5 mm. The larger hole is handy when you're working with a thicker cord, while a thinner base gives you more freedom for composition.

Creative uses

• Baby dummy clips. The silicone beads are strung on a suitable base and paired with a clip fastener. For a project like this, use only components intended for that specific purpose, and follow their safety instructions.
• Teethers and baby accessories. The soft surface is one reason silicone beads are used for items like these, but the finished accessory must be assembled with suitable components and checked regularly for wear.
• Children's bracelets and necklaces. Combine silicone rounds and cubes with elastic or another suitable base. The letter models are handy for spelling out a name.
• Charms. Red, white and coloured silicone beads can be added to yarn or cord for a different kind of accent.
• Gifts and accessories. Use beads with letters, numbers and themed shapes for personalised bracelets, keychains and small gifts.

DIY Ideas to get you started

• A name bracelet. Spell the name out with letter cubes and add colourful rounds on either side.
• A dummy clip. Mix a few colours and add a name or a short word in the middle.
• A christening gift. Choose a soft colour combination and themed shapes for a small personalised accessory.
• A charm for a child. Add white and red beads to cord or yarn and work in a small letter or number as a personal touch.

Other materials you’ll need

For bracelets and necklaces, you'll usually want a silicone or other suitable elastic. You can add wooden or plastic beads for a different texture, and metal parts if the project allows.

For baby dummy clips and teethers, use only components intended for such items. Don't swap the specialist clips, cords or other parts for ordinary jewellery findings.
