Wedding party gifts completed!!

So nice to check things off my list!!!!! I finally finished all the projects for my wedding party gifts and I'm so happy with them!

The hangers didn't actually take TOO long, but I could only do maybe 3 MAX in a sitting and they are HARD on your hands (my fingers were killing me from hand bending the wire, pliers scratched the metal too much). I haven't assembled the BM bags yet, but I have a sweater (posted them before), the hanger, a hair tie braclet (a nice bangle that holds a hair tie, looks really nice!), and some customized sunglasses (wish I had just made them myself... one of my only 2 bad experiences on Etsy). I can't wait to give them all their gifts!

Less then 2 months away now Smiley xd

    It surprisingly didn't take TOO long (though it depends on the name). The "Helene" hanger was the second one I made and it only took 20 mins to bend the wire (actually fully timed it from start to finish)

    Thanks... There is a good chance that I will not be ambitious enough to bend all that wire but you never know... Lol

    Love how the hangers turned out... I'm doing something similar but with wood burning... What gage wire did you use?

    Haha thanks! I'll have to see in the summer (after thank you's are sent lol)

    I would for real use things as examples in an interview though. But most of my skills came from trying new crafts LOL

    You totally should!!! Seriously I feel like we should be able to put "planning a wedding" on our resume after this because we get so many life skills!

    I've been debating it post wedding actually. But I worry about making things for other people. like when bending the wire if I nicked the paint I was like... MEH it's not that bad. But if I was getting paid by someone I would be OBSESSING over it and I think I would drive myself crazy. I'm thinking about doing sweaters and or invitations though, make a little extra $$
