Wanna see what I made?

Original post by mnttnbchbride

So, 8 months ago I took my first jewelry making class and LOVED it. So I thought, why don't I make each of my 6 bridesmaids necklaces and earrings for the wedding? They are wearing black dresses, and are carrying red roses, so I figured red jewelry would be nice. AND I figured, 'Hey, I have 8 months, NO PROBLEM! I'll get it done WAY ahead of time.'

So fast forward 7 1/2 months when I'm only halfway done with them. My friends (not the bridesmaids) knew that I was undertaking this and it was a running joke about whether I was going to finish.

BUT I DID! At 3 pm yesterday they were finished and my hands were killing me. Lesson learned- have fewer bridesmaids next time.

But, I must admit that I love doing it. Just 6 of any one piece is a lot.

So, only because I'm so happy that I FINISHED, I wanted to share my project.

Thanks everybody! They look better on a person, but I couldn't get the camera to do them justice. They sparkle a little!

With all of my extra beads, if anyone needs red beaded things, let me know!
