Bridesmaids' Gifts

I think this post is safe in writing, since I actually don't have anyone following me that I know, including all of my girls.  For some reason I just haven't shared this blog with any of my friends and family.  Mr. T knows I write and he checks it occasionally, and I've showed my mom a post or two, but that's the extent.

So since I don't have to worry about any nosy girls, I'll show you what I've got going so far for them.

I made them bracelets that match the dress with beads, wire, and toggle clasps from Hobby Lobby.

Here is the necklace I bought for them all from Gordman's that I told you about previously.

You saw the totes I made, that still need a handle to finish them off.  I'll probably get that done when I'm back in IL for the next two weeks.

And the clutches I threw together with Mrs. Peep Toe's tutorial.

I also found these green shirts that match on sale for $2 each this summer at Joann's.  I'm going to have them screenprinted or embroidered for them to wear to a shower or some sort of wedding event.

These pedicure sets were in the $1 bin at Target and I had to grab 5 of them.  I'm a sucker for things in my wedding colors!

These aren't as much as gift, as an accessory to their bouquets.  I'm going to put their initial or a picture of the two of us in this little bead frame and string it around their handle.  I found this at Joann's for a dollar or two.

I threw together this little cosmetic bag that I'm thinking would be a cute little addition to the tote for the day of the wedding.  I'm going to have excess of this green material from my table squares so I think I'll make these for the girls as well.  I just made this with what was laying around the house.  For the girls' I want to use a black zipper, and possibly include a black trim/bow across the front.  I'll be sure to show you how they turn out.

That's all I've got going on so far.  Since I've been making most of it myself, and buying cheaply along the way I haven't racked up too high of a bill yet.  I'm sitting around $30 a girl which isn't bad at all.  Since there is a nice variety and amount, I'll be able to give them a little thing or two at my showers and then put together a nice gift to give them at the rehearsal dinner.  I'm also hoping to treat them all to go get a pedicure with me right before the wedding, and that should do it.

What are you doing for your girls?  Have you noticed yourself going a little overboard?
