    I REALLY love the necklaces!  I think I will be attempting to make similar ones for my BMs.  I have a pearl obsession right now :)  I've seen others that have made them, are they fairly easy?

    DrD- hahaha I know when I came across them when googling for clasps I couldn't for the life of me remember who I had seen use them! I should have known, you've got great taste Wink

    Kayla- The bracelets were time consuming but the necklaces were SO fast and easy! I've never made jewelry before in my life (minus big plastic bead bracelets in 2nd grade) and I had absolutely no issues. FI had to help me crimp the crimp beads because I got to impatient to figure out how to do that, but he was happy to help and we made a great team!

    Good to hear! I haven't really ever made jewlery either, I can handle time consuming but if it requires tons of skills I may be in trouble :)  Maybe I can have FMIL help...she LOVES doing that kind of stuff!

    I also love that he modeled the bracelet! trooper!

    I especially love the flower girl necklace, so cute and simple with a pop of color!  I may steal your idea for my FGs, and have them wear it with the bow on the side.

    How did you hand emboss your napkins?  Is it harder to do since the napkin isn't as thick as paper?

    Thank you! The flower girl necklaces were so cheap and easy, I highly recommend doing them.

    As far as embossing, it was a pain in the arse. I'd never embossed before, it was my first attempt (and melted the side of my laptop in the process! whoops) so I can't tell you if it's easier or harder then on paper. The main issue I had was the powder sticking to the napkin since the paper napkins were really porous. I got an embossing buddy and rubbed that on the napkin first and that seemed to help a little. A link to the instructions I used is in my bio
