Easy DIY Bridesmaid Gifts – Help Me Tie the Knot
July 24, 2014I wanted to come up with a sweet way of asking my girlfriends (and sister!) if they would honor me in standing by my side for my wedding. I was perusing through Baublebar one day and these knot necklaces caught me eye and like all things creative with me away I went with my vision.
Alright let me start by telling everyone I am not a crafty person, like at all. I have really good vision but sometimes my execution falls a little short. Like I would probably hot glue my hands together. My poor little in my sorority all those big little gifts…..I told her can’t I just take her out or buy her a cute outfit instead? Her paddle actually came out astonishing well (probably because my big took over and assigned me to making snacks and refilling the wine).
Here is my super easy DIY tutorial.
I had an idea that I really wanted to do after I saw these necklaces.
Love this and now I have a need for a new necklace I’ve never seen before! Yay for asking the bridesmaids! One thing to check off that never ending list!
I love the “No puffy sleeves or bows on the butt” … Darling “tie the knot” idea!
Wouldn’t have thought you would have asked in any other way than perfect!! I love how it tied all together (hehe pun intended)!!
This is awesome! I’ve been waiting for this post.(You mentioned it before) You are so cute. XO
This is such a cute idea! I love that necklace and the way you asked!
You did such a great job! These are amazing. Make sure you pin this to Pinterest. My highest traffic source/most repinned image is my DIY Bridesmaid Boxes: http://www.justatraceblog.com/2013/08/something-blogged-diy-bridesmaid-boxes.html

This is perfect! Hey who could say no to a fabulous necklace? Very creative lady!
LOVE bauble bar and these necklaces are so fabulouly chi! Well done, lady!
And I agree, about the expectations out there now. It’s just ridiculous! This gift was perfectly you and sounds like they loved them! The card is super cute. :)
This is absolutely adorable! Will that be the jewelry the girls wear with their bridesmaid dresses? I love that necklace – I may get one for myself, ha!
Such a cute idea, those necklaces are so perfect! I bet your bridesmaids were so excited!!
this is so sweet! such a great idea. I wish I had done something like this, but I just asked my 2 bridesmaids in person and then I got my (disney obsessed) maid of honour a disney maid of honour tee to ask her. I went allll out on the presents afterwards though because they did so unbelievably much for me. I’m not as interested in weddings as I was before I got married but I am always interested in weddings of people I know + love so feel free to share any and all deets you want! You’ll have at least one reader!

I love those necklaces, and how sweet of you to ask them in such a generous way! I’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid over text message before, so, yeah, these little efforts make a huge difference hah. Nice job!

Amanda these are perfect – you did a great job. I would not have been able to do half that. I can’t wait to watch your wedding come together. PS: I was just asked to be a bridesmaid a couple of hours again from my best friend Jennifer – too funny!
This is seriously the best thing ever… love how the necklaces are knots!!
Ok, ok, YES I’ll do it, but only because you’ll never be a bridezilla hah. Great idea – you know your girls will say yes, silly!
You’re totally right! As chicks who are getting (or, in my case – got) married later in life and therefore all our friends have been in no fewer than 389 weddings, it’s hard to ask them! I knew my main squeezes would say yes, but I KNOW they also thought, “damnit! There goes another $300 bridesmaid dress “I can wear again” and more PTO being sucked dry…” Did the chicks getting married in their mid-20’s face this discrimination? Nope.
Just make sure to offer them unlimited top shelf liquor. At least, that’s what I did :)

These turned out so cute!! WHEN IS MINE COMING?! ;P
They are super cute! Nice job!! I just called my girls haha. But Pinterest didn’t exist back then, (I got married in 2010) so I had resort to old-fashioned methods haha. Hope that you had a great day today too! :-)
Seriously,
This is SO cute!!! What a great idea!! Copyright this, so no one can steal your idea ;)
These are awesome!!! So girlie and sweet … and by all means keep the wedding stuff coming!
