For the rest of the girls!

I mentioned in my bridesmaid gift post that I created necklaces for all of the girls. I actually made these necklaces for all of the bridesmaids, readers and house party. Now that the rehearsal dinner is over, I can share with you my creations :)

We live in a small town east of Dallas, but the funny thing is that there is this incredible bead store in my hometown, which has caused Mom H and I to dabble in jewelry making for the past several years. We decided to take a quick class at our local bead store and off I went to shop and create. After the class, I purchased sterling silver clasps and chain, as well as pearls (real) and swarovski crystals. I played around with the lengths and with mixing the different beads and these are my results:

Three of the different necklaces. Sorry for the background, but those are the instructions that helped me to wire wrap the beads.

All wrapped and ready for the readers and house party! The black and white bags were found at Hobby Lobby - I love that place :)

Did any of you dabble into jewelry making for your wedding?
