have you ever done beading before? it's not difficult but you should try
making one first and then decide if you want to make more.
I would recommend to put all the planets on one strand, in order, rather than 9
strands.
also do you want to keep to scale? but it's sort of difficult due to the
difference in sizes. here is a list of planet models on the same scale where
1" = 100,000 miles:
Object
Diameter of model (mm)
Object about the same size as model
Suggested color
Mercury
0.8
Pinhead or candy sprinkle
Yellow
Venus
2
Peppercorn or popcorn kernel
White
Earth
2
Peppercorn or popcorn kernel
Blue or blue-green
Earth’s moon
0.5
Pinhead or candy sprinkle
Yellow
Mars
1
Pinhead or candy sprinkle
Red
Jupiter
20
Chestnut or pecan
Brown-and-white striped?
Saturn
18
Hazelnut or acorn
Yellow
Uranus
9
Peanut or coffeebean
Blue
Neptune
8
Peanut or coffeebean
Blue
Pluto
0.4
Pinhead or candy sprinkle
White or gray
(note: 25 mm = 1 inch)

Could i sell them at events and make some money for the club?
Just thought of that.

ok, so it's pretty. and it's *expensive*. and it doesn't look like the
solar system anyway. no, that's not "sour grapes". it looks like a beautiful
ring with 9 valuable gemstones, but it doesn't look like the solar system.
but - do you ever do beading? you could make a necklace with glass beads
in various sizes and colors representing the planets. glass beads are very
pretty even though they're not expensive. you could put all the beads on one
strand, in order, either with metal spacers to hold them in place, or with
smaller plain beads between them. or you can make a 9-strand necklace with
each bead on a separate strand. you can get all the materials at "Michael's"
craft supply store for a few dolllars, including a book about how to do it. in
fact you can get a book like that for free from the public library, and then
you just need to buy the beads and other materials. also if you are just making
the one necklace, you don't need to get special jewellery tools, you can use
tools you already have at home (but just use them gently).
