How To Make A Ring Pillow: A Personal Experience

As someone who loves DIY projects, I decided to make my own ring pillow for my wedding. It was a fun and fulfilling experience, and I’m excited to share my step-by-step guide with you.

Step-by-Step Guide

Materials Needed:

• 1/2 yard of fabric
• Scissors
• Sewing machine (or needle and thread)
• Ribbon (optional)
• Ring (to test size of pillow)

Instructions:

1. Cut two squares of fabric that are 8×8 inches each.
2. Place the two squares of fabric together, with the right sides facing each other.
3. Sew three sides of the fabric together, leaving one side open.
4. Turn the fabric right side out.
5. Stuff the pillow with the filling of your choice (I used cotton batting).
6. Sew the open side of the fabric together.
7. If desired, tie a ribbon around the pillow and attach your rings.

Top 10 Tips and Ideas

1. Use a fabric that matches your wedding colors or theme.
2. Add embellishments like lace, beads, or sequins to make the pillow unique.
3. Personalize the pillow with your names and wedding date using fabric paint or embroidery.
4. Consider using a different shape besides a square, like a heart or circle.
5. Use a thicker fabric like felt or velvet for a more luxurious look.
6. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can hand-sew the pillow instead.
7. Make multiple pillows for different ring bearers or to have as a keepsake.
8. Use a contrasting ribbon to tie the rings onto the pillow.
9. Include a small pocket on the back of the pillow to hold the rings more securely.
10. Have fun and be creative!
