It’s no secret that I love all things sparkly. Needless to say, I was sad when my friend wouldn’t let me bedazzle her wedding dress, so I decided to bedazzle myself. Yesterday I started and finished a small project that I really wasn’t sure would turn out the way I pictured it in my head. I had bought a silver sash to wear with the white dress I’m planning on wearing after our ceremony and at the party back home (click here to see it again). I had picked up a strand of rhinestones from Hobby Lobby when I was shopping for my invitation supplies and decided to sew them along the edge of the sash for a little extra bling. I truly, truly adore sparkly things and I think it’s become an obsession!

The materials I needed were:

1 strand of rhinestones

David’s Bridal satin sash in silver

and of course, a needle and thread. Simple enough!

The rhinestones have material in between each stone so it made it easy to sew.

I decided not to half-ass this project so I sewed in between each and every rhinestone so it would be completely secure.

It took a few hours in front of the TV and I ended up with a few puncture holes in my fingers, but it turned out so good! I tried the dress on with the sash in a simple loop (please ignore the lovely oven in the background)…

And my other option is in a bow (Hazel made an appearance, it looks like she wanted some of the spotlight)…

Pretty bow

I’m leaning more towards the bow, but which do you all prefer?
