We still haven’t decided exactly what we are going to do for the girls’ dresses yet. I have several ideas, but one thing I knew I wanted to do was to create jewelry for them to wear. (Mainly because I love the idea of making something for my wonderful friends, and also if they end up hating it, it wasn’t something super expensive that they’ll never wear again!)

So I spent some time on Etsy* and bought some blue beads, and black beads, and green beads,

and of course, you need the hooks and the chain in order to create the earrings and necklaces.

I have an idea for the design that I’ll create (I’m aiming to create something that mimics the necklace I’ve purchased for myself to wear, from yet another Etsy vendor), but I’ll wait to share the design until I’ve played around with the beads to see what the final form ends up being. Now I just can’t wait for all my goodies to arrive!

(And yes, I realize that since we haven’t made a final decision on the dresses, there’s a chance that the necklaces won’t work. They’ll go well with my favorite idea for the dresses, so that’s what I’m working with—and if they end up not working, I’ll find some more beads and make something else and give these to them for some other reason!)

Are you planning on anything handmade for your bridesmaids?
