Hey all! If you didn't already know for my Bachelorette Party the girls and I went on a 3 day cruise. I wanted to get something super cutesy for my gal pals to strut around in. I wanted them all to match so that everyone on the cruise knew that we meant business! I looked around online for cute bachelorette tanks and all were at least $17 PER tank top. Considering I needed a total of 5+, that would have cost me around $85 not including the shipping and tax. Soooo not gonna happen.
I opted for a more affordable option, DIY. I had some stencils around the house, a paintbrush and acrylic paint. First I layed out the letters on the Tank top and taped the edges so that when I began painting, they would hold in place. Add some glitter, let it dry, and you have yourself HANDMADE bachelorette tanks that are not only affordable ($5 per tank + paint (already had) + paintbrush) but UNIQUE and one of a kind! Total cost per shirt if you didn't already have paint and paintbrushes would probably come out to around $6 each, totaling to $30 for 5 shirts.
{I found some cute ones online that were @ minimum $15 per bag. That would have cost me @ least $75, but because I did them myself, it only cost me $10 for a total of 5 bags!

COST if I were to buy these $85
COST I actually spent - $30
Total saved: $55
I also had an idea to make some matching tote bags the girls could take to the pool on our cruise. I found these plain bags at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each. What a steal, right? Add some paint with the help of a few stencils and BOOM - you got yourself a cute, unique bag for the girls to take by the pool.

The fabulous shirts in action:
 |
| My gorgeous bridesmaid in her tank! |
 |
| The ladies before the cruise!! |
Entire project (Shirt + Bag)
If I would have purchased: $160
Actual cost I paid: $ 40
Amount saved: $120
I think I'm going to like this whole DIY stuff.
Here is what I put inside of the bags for the girls:
*Personalized coozie (via Etsy)
*Clear Plastic Mason Jars filled with Advil, Bachelorette name tags, beads & whistles, and penis straws of course!
*Personalized tank tops
*Personalized fake "boarding passes" with our cruise schedule
P.S. Two more days till our wedding!!! EEEEEeeeekkkkKKK!!!

Really nice clothing styles. My sister bought many dark colored tank tops and yoga pants for gym sessions. Loved all the styles and even tried them many times. Everyone in my class praises about their perfect fit. Will shop them soon. She also got some coupons on last order. Will use them this time.
