DIY your bridesmate gifts!

Today we will be shooting a new couple! Yay! But that will be posted at a later date...
In the mean time I saw the cutest idea for bridesmaid gifts from 100layercake.com. For those brides out there that love doing DIYs or may be on a budget, fear not this DIY is relatively inexpensive (unless you have many bridesmaids) and it's such an awesome idea!

First what you will need is a locket of your choosing. On 100layercake they used a vintage sphere locket, as a girly girl I am a heart locket kind of girl :) I found some on Etsy that would great for this DIY project.

This first one can be found at Dondalees shop. This locket costs $22. A simple brass locket. The shop offers different chain lengths. 

The second one offers customization. You can add your initials which makes it even more special. It is a bit more expensive at $30, but Hey, its your GFs right? This one can be found at Skyejuice's shop. The chain length can also be adjusted. 

Next, you will need some decorative paper that has one side blank. Cut them to fit inside your locket. The length of the paper will depend on how long your message is. On the paper, it is up to you to write what ever you please. 


Fold the paper accordion style making sure it fits inside your locket. Once that is done, put it inside the locket and TADA! A great bridesmaid gift! Your friends will love it because of the time and effort you put into making the gift. YAY! Happy crafting :)

With love,
