Capiz (shell) Curtain Strands

[amyh]

Hi Ladies,

 

I was looking at knottie pages and came across one who used SeaCrest Trading Co. Tribal Artifacts Catalog - 25% off Tribal Baskets

 

to get this look

 

They are $8 a strand (22 shells/strand). I'm considering ordering about 6 or so, but want to confirm with my WC if she can get a better deal since we'd have to rent the bamboo in PV.

 

But just thought I'd share.

I really like this idea and was thinking of doing something similar. I haven't decided between the shells or crystal beads. Let me know if you want to sell them after your wedding.

I think JessicaLoves Brian had something like this. Maybe contact her about what she used.

I really love this idea... but our wedding "arch" is actually where they typically hang the hammocks so it's REALLY wide. I'd need a bunch! If anyone has these and are willing to sell them after their wedding please let me know! Although... since my wedding is only two months away this probably won't happen! Worth a shot!

 

upon further review... purchasing something like this http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-7502649-4324969?ASIN=B000FA7U8A&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000FA7U8 A|Capiz_Door_Curtain&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000FA 7U8A&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001 might be a better alternative. You can cut the individual strings off if you'd like, then it's cheaper.

I did this too. It came out really pretty. I think there's a pic of my arch in the arch ideas thread. I loved it. I actually went in with a couple of girls I knew from the DW board on the knot (we were all using the same WC) and split the costs and then donated them to our WC.

I lvoe that look as well, I was thinking of just making them myself. Purchasing them WOULD be much easier though...
