Yup! I made some for me, my bms, and the moms. They are all a bit different. They aren't for the ceremony (for me, anyway, the girls can wear whatever on their feet they like), but I thought they would be fun for pictures.

 

Mine are these; the ones with white on them, of course! Simple, but I love them anyway.

I'm making my own barefoot jewelery. Anyone else DIY their barefoot jewelery? I'd love to see what people have come up with.
 

 

 

 

Also, I just heard that dressless me will be getting my shoes soon... They were on beyond the rack, in my colour,  and I could not resist.

Nicely done!

I've started working on mine and although I bought a heavier line I'm concerned about them breaking when I'm walking in the sand (as I'm going to be wearing them for the ceremony... exploding beads everywhere while I'm walking,... not a good look). Anyone have any experience with actually wearing barefoot sandals on a beach.

The brand of shoes is "touch ups"  and the model is "Nadia". You can find them in many bridal salons, or I got mine from Amazon. Or try http://www.bridalshoesca.com/home.php
They were origionall white satin. You can get Dylon dye at any fabric store, or porbably craft stores too. I thought it would be hard but it is really simple.

[kristinalilly]

I bought my beads at Michaels.

One thing that helped with the cost though is that they often have pre-made bracelets/necklaces for sale for a few bucks that had nice colours in them. So I bought a few of those and just used the beads. Otherwise they can actually end up being pretty expensive to make.

I'd love to see a photo of your's when they're finished!

The DIY jewlery looks good. i never thought of doing it myself but I might just try now. I really like that wedge. Did you get it from dresslessme?

[Peach]

Hah! No, the wedge was just on beyond the rack... I am calling myself dressless because I have not gone dress shopping yet. So I feel silly, for having the shoes first. Oh well.

FI is trying to talk me into a shorter dress, and he figured the best way to do that is to have me look at shoes, since I am fairly shoe obsessed. Well, I knew I would have to get a wedge, and this was in our colour.

They were a great deal. $29!!!

If you are on beyond the rack, check them out, they have similar sales on all the time.
 

The DIY barefoot sandals were quite simple. I am only concerned about the size. Me and my MOH are sisters, with similar feet and ankles, but I just had to kind of guess on the others.

I just looked at a pic of one and started in on it! I am rather pleased with them though.

 

As for beads and string, I am sorry I cannot help out whoever asked about that one. I already had all of these in my house. I have a lot of crafty things lying around, so I like getting to use them once in a while. So they were completely free! I hope they don't break in the sand, I had not thought of that. Well, I am not wearing them down the aisle anyway, but still...

 

There are some craft stores where you can fill up a little pill-bottle size container with any beads. I used to do that, but it was not at a chain store, and it was a long time ago. Just look around and see what you find! Good luck!
