Thinking about making my own chair caps

I can't find the organza Chiavari chair caps that I want ANYWHERE, so I was thinking about ordering the fabric and beading and making them myself. I have NO sewing experience, but I figure it can't be too hard to sew a couple of straight lines with a machine (my mother has one). I'm thinking the materials will be about $250-300, which is less than $2-3/chair. I was hoping that I might be able to sell them to someone after the wedding to make back some of my money too. The pics below are my inspiration (and some fabric/beading alternatives). What do you guys think?

Edit: ugh, the beading pic won't upload...here's an example on Etsy - Esty pink beaded fringe trim

Really pretty.

Does your mom or anyone you know have sewing experience? If so, maybe you can get some help. Good luck!

Re: Thinking about making my own chair caps

My mom does have some sewing experience, but she thinks the idea is stupid and a little self-indulgent. Decor is one of the most important things for me, though. I'm sure she'll break down and help me when I whine about it though!
