Make gifts for your bridesmaids

elegant bracelet

It's getting close to your big day. You've done everything you can to keep your wedding plans simple and frugal. You've made your own invitations, created centerpieces yourself, made your bouquet and even your guest book.

Now, how will you thank your bridesmaids? In keeping with your frugal DIY wedding, a thoughtful and unique hand-made gift sounds perfect.

Spa products
Wouldn't it be fun to have a spa day with your bridesmaids? Since this is an expensive luxury, you could thank them with some homemade spa products instead. Try some of these:
  • Facial products: Make a cleanser, scrub, mask, and moisturizer to pamper your bridesmaids.
  • Foot products: Create a soak, scrub, and butter -- those feet will be worn out from dancing at the wedding!
  • Body products: Make bath salts, body scrub, hand scrub, and body oil, so she can be soft all over.

Knock it Off: Pandora's pink opal with flower drop earrings

drop earrings with silver flower, topaz bicone and pink round stone
Some of that trendy designer jewelry is fabulous, isn't it? Fabulously expensive too.

You know, you don't have to pay those prices if you are even moderately handy with a pair of pliers and have a local bead shop (or don't mind buying beads online, sight unseen).

Pandora has a lovely set of pink opal with flower drop earrings in their new 2008 spring line. Join me after the break to see how you can make a reasonable facsimile of these earrings for far less than the $60.00 they are charging.
