Iron Ons

My Bridesmaids totes are complete!!

This is the finished product.

Knottie Sushi gave me a link to some great intructions on how to make these bad boys, I was clueless to say. Wedding by colors, Gratefulbride Blue Wedding Here are the instructions. I hope it can help out you as much it saved me. I ordered my totes from cheaptotes.com for .99 cents. For some reason Michaels was not getting any shippment on them and I grew impatient and ordered them online. I bought Mylar paper on ebay for $8 bucks from crystalsdesigns. Flatbacks from Knottie Sushi for .70 cents a gross. I am pretty pleased with the way they came out.

I really like this look for the Bridesmaids

Shoes

Since my girls will have on different black dresses, I wanted them to carry that out with their shoes as well but in a bright pink color.

Zappos.

These are my absolute favorite and I am really thinking about going with these for myself. Betsey Johnson

Bridesmaid Jewelry

I knew that I wanted to make something for my Bridesmaids but didn't know where to start. After seeing a post in the Making It Personal Board, I knew this is what I wanted to do. After an email to Knottie BryanandKatrina, asking for the directions, she so graciously sent them over and off I went to Michaels to purchase the supplies. But before that I printed out about ten 50% coupons and off I went. I found the crimper for $14.00 and with my awesome coupon, it only cost $8. Found sizes 4mm, 6mm, 8mm white pearls each were $1.50 after the coupon.

After dropping the little one at school, I got to work on these babies. I didn't purchase enough wire so I was only able to make three out of the four neckalces and two bracelets for the Flower Girls. Each necklace cost about $5 to make.

Pearl Necklace Instructions

Must haves:
CRIMPER
JEWELRY WIRE
DOUBLE SIDED SATIN RIBBON
WIRE CUTTERS
PEARLS
SEED BEADS
CRIMP BEADS
TOGGLE CLASPS

This was my first time ever making jewelry. It was actually relaxing, lol

I bought sizes 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm Pearls from Michaels with my coupons!!

I cut the jewelry wire 18in. Placed the wire through the toggle clasp and crimped it. I strung 10 4mm pearls first but between every pearl I strung a seed bead after each one. Be sure to do this through out the whole necklace (The jewelry lady said that it is not good for your pearls to rub against each other, especially if they are real) After 10 4mm, I strung 15 6mm and 12 8mm pearls. Took another toggle clasp and crimped it. My ribbon was cut 18in, I liked how the ribbon draped down the back. Put it through the toggle and hot glued it so it was secure.

The Bridal Look

This is the look that I am going for. I love the pink flowers against the black dresses. {If these are your pictures please let me know, so I can credit you} I am very new at these blogging and never kept track when I began saving pictures.

Bridesmaids Dresses

Well my Girls are picking out their own dresses. The only thing I ask is the dress be black and tea length and flowey. They have picked out a few but they are from last years collection at Davids Bridal. Here are a few pics.

I am hoping to go dress shopping in January and getting some pics of the girls trying on their dress.

Bridesmaids Cards

I wasn't even going to make anything, I was just going to simply ask my girls if they would be a bridesmaid in our wedding. After looking at all the DIY Bridemaids cards, I thought it would be nice to make them something. One night I saw a Knotties bio that had the cutest bridesmaids cards and I so desperately wanted them for my girls. Only problem, I had no idea how to make them. I emailed Knottie Michelle and she so graciously helped me out. She made me four bridesmaids cards from the "27 Dresses Movie" I absolutely love them. I can't wait to scrapbook these as well. I want to take pictures giving them to my girls. Coming Soon.

As soon as I figure out how to upload the images I will post them. I want everyone to see Knottie Michelle Fabulous work. Thanx again!

Well after a weekand of making my bridesmaids cards, I finally finished them and I am very very happy with them. Here are some pics.

Inside of the card reads, "I promise not to make you wear an ugly dress!" Love Ashley

Too cute!!
