I LOVE everything! How did you do your 'bling strands??'

Great thread and planning! I had a question about the hanging round lanterns at your reception.. did you bring them and get the WC to hang them? Or did the hotel have them and you paid extra? I'm wondering if I should order some online and bring them..?

I rented the Hanging Lanterns from the Resort. They charged me $200 for the set up! I was going to bring them with me, but, it just made it easier to rent.

This was actually my 1st DIY project! It's super easy!
Supplies:
Fishing Line
Crimp Beads
Crimping Tool
Crystals

I guestimated the length of the fishing line by making it a little taller than my bedroom door. I then crimped a bead at my desired spot, added a crystal, and then another crimp bead, and crimped it right above the crystal. That way the bead will not move. I then spaced out on the fishing line approx. 10 inches and crimped another crimp bead, and repeated the process until i had about 16 crystals on the strand.
Easy Peazy done deazy!
