How to make a pregnancy bola?

You are expecting a happy event or one of your loved ones has announced her pregnancy? This tutorial of necklace for pregnant women should please you! In this tutorial, discover how to create your own personalized pregnancy bola. The materials for this pregnancy bola are listed at the bottom of the tutorial. This DIY is very easy, and suitable for all levels of jewelry making. This jewel is a 925 silver pregnancy bola in silver color, but you can easily make it in gold thanks to the products available in the Variations section at the bottom of the tutorial and the gold letter charms. I chose two letter charms to embellish the pendant, you can choose the letter charms that match, or you can choose a charm you like.

The only technique you will need to master to complete this tutorial is to know how to use rings. Tiffanie, our designer, shows you in video how to open and close a ring simply.

A bola is a piece of pregnancy jewelry that is worn from the 19th or 20th week, because that's when the baby's auditory system develops. The bola emits a soft sound that will rock the baby throughout the pregnancy. After the baby is born, we have a little tip for you: unstitch a few stitches of a comforter, slip the bola inside and make sure to close the seam. The baby will be able to continue to hear this familiar sound, which will reassure him. A big question remains: Who offers the pregnancy bola? There is no definite answer, a relative, the future parent, grandparents ... If you feel like it, go for it!

We have two other bola tutorials on our site that might interest you as well: DIY Trendy Pregnancy Bola with big links and teddy bear and DIY Bola necklace with PureCrystal Paros toupies glass beads and faceted beads by Puca.

Then, close the rings with your charms around the ring of the bola. Here, I made the choice to put the charms letter on one side and the crystal on the other.

Step 3

The chain of a bola must measure 110 cm to fall more or less 5 cm from the navel. It can however vary between 105 cm and 115 cm.

Cut the chain following these indications.

Bonjour,
La tenue de la galvanisation dorée sur les bolas en acier inoxydable sera meilleure. Toutefois si vous souhaitez une bola avec un son discret, nous vous conseillons la version en laiton doré. Les bolas en acier inoxydable sont plus sonores !
