?? Anyone ever make beaded footlets before??

I am trying to think of some new creative things to do besides the usual bridal party thank yous (i.e. jewelry). So while on ebay (which is so awesome with all the wedding stuff I've gotten off there) and looking for shoes I noticed footlets. They are so cool. I was thinking (cause I planned on wearing sandals anyways. I've walked in heels on the ground where the ceremony will be and they sank right in) of trying to do the "how to make them" first for myself then if not too hard maybe have one of the nights the whole bridal party gets in on them. If not definitely going to order the pre-maid ones that are gorgeous and go barefoot. T.I.A.

    I made one, it was easy!   This was my 1st attempt. http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww77/madiamondgirl/434362689_1509817092_0.jpgI used very inexpensive beads to make it. All you need is beads and stretch jewelery cord.  I got the supplies at Michael's and/or AC Moore.

    Thanks I'll try that website. I went with a friend yesterday to check out a company here that only sells stuff for bead making and we planned on only doing one foot to see how hard it would be. Well one foot and $40.00 later I'm thinking either get cheaper beads or just order then on ebay (pre-made).

    Actually that was a link to a pic of one that I made...... LOL.$40 for beads???  My dear, if you want bulk beads,  buy them on E-bay!!  So much cheaper!!  I make jewelery and that where I get my beads.  I started with 1 foot.  I can take a while to make.  If you have the patience go for it.  Otherwise buy them on line. :)
