I got my deck of cards from doillar tree, 2 per pack/box so worked out to .50per deck.  The only thing is that once you open the box they are only wrapped in plastic but I had made up some personalised sticker labels on vistaprint that went over one side so its kinda personalized for us.

I got my playing cards from Oriental Trading for $7.00 per dozen...they are cute with hearts and I just put stickers on one side "Two of Kind" with our names and date marriage.  Here is the link for the cards:   http://www.orientaltrading.com/love-wedding-playing-cards-a2-47_687-12-1.fltr?Ntt=playing cards hearts

I have made foot jewelry for my bridesmaids. I have now moved onto some for myself, but I can't decide which ones I like more.... Anyone have any opinions?? Please ignore my very broken toe nails..

i personally like the ones on the right...the ones that do not have the blue stone on them....

were these hard to make? I've been itchy to buy online but i hear so many people just go the DIY way.  How much do you think u spent on each set?? how long did you take to make 1 pair?
thank you

They were SUPER easy.  I'd say one pair at the beginning took an hour and a half, and now they take maybe 40 minutes for a pair.  I use really small beads though, so they are more difficult to string.  If you were to use larger beads it would take you no time at all.

I bought the seed beads and the stretchy chord at the dollar store, and then bought some other beads at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels.  Maybe I spent $20-25 all together.  This made 4 pairs and I have TONS of beads left over.  I don't think I even used half of what I purchased.  I'd say it's worth it to make them.  For me, it was a fun project.  My FI lives in a different city and it was a good way to pass some time and get excited about the wedding.  I made them while watching TV.

. Thanks....can't wait to give him the book. Sorry I can't remember how much I paid for shipping and the quality is pretty good a bit thinner then regular cards.
