I've been searching for an answer for this ..., and cantcan't seem to find it! I've read a couple other posts about casting silicone, but no answer quite fits what I'm looking to do.

I have an autistic child who "chews" on everything. I've looked into buying the "chewlry" that is made for children to chew on (chewable jewelry) similar to a baby teething ring, but I want to figruefigure out how to make this jewelry myself!. The chewable jewelry is made with silicone beads.. simple enough. However, I cannot find ANYWHERE directions on how to MAKE SILICONE BEADSmake the silicone beads anywhere. All of my searches result in "how to make silicone MOLDSmolds for beads" I do not want to make the mold, I want to make the BEADbead from silicone. 

Also, I saw it previously mentioned that adding a binding agent to the silicone to increase durability would be a good idea. What type of binding agent should I addbe added to make the silicone? Obviously I needbeads durable and safe for a child to use something food grade.

Can anyone PLEASE helpchew on?!
