What are you making the breast out of? This will greatly influence what the mass should feel like..............or what to use.... :)

Remember that some of the major differences will be if the lump can move or is it fixed? How hard is it? Shape of it?

Hi. I am doing a breast cancer teaching project. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could "make" to resemble a lump in a breast?

Look for rubber cement in an Arts & Crafts store

What about using some type of gelatin/silly putty in a baggie for the breast( might need to play with the mixture for firmness) & then clay for the lump?? Then you can adjust size,shape,texture. Good Luck.

A while ago at nursing school they gave me a breast cancer awareness beaded necklace. But duh! I threw it away thinking I would never need it again. But, it was simple... a string ... with several sizes of wooden beads... the kind you can get at any craft arts store. The different sizes had a key that indicated if it was a benign cyst or a tumor ect.
