#fortheREZofMAYlife: DIY Wedding Cord

I decided to make our own wedding cord because first, I can design it according to my preference. Second, it is cheaper compared if I ordered it from a craft store and lastly, I have plenty of time to learn how to make one.

The first thing I did is to ask my husband (my boyfriend then) to accompany me to Quiapo. I bought my supplies in Wellmanson and DYI Beads in front of Quiapo church. I only had a couple of hours each day before going to bed and so it took me three days before I finish my "obra".



I bought red and white rice beads, pins, rings, spacers and baubles of my choice (crucifix, brooch and our initials)

Here's my first attempt to arrange a pattern.

Our motif is red but since it is already a perceptible color, I decided to have more white beads in my pattern.

I've watched a few YouTube videos to learn how to unlock and lock this ring.



Here's the final outcome of my #fortheREZofMAYlife wedding cord. :)
