Fun Things For Rings

Fun Things For Rings

January 24th, 2008 @ 3:16 pm by Mrs. Peacock

I saw these adorable pin cushions on Heather Bailey this morning and I thought they would make adorable ring pillows.

I love buttons and I have been looking for little ways to sneak them in since it doesn’t actually fit into our theme. She includes a link to the instructions and after some minor adjustments, it should be pretty easy to make these the appropriate size. Just add some ribbon around the button to hold the rings and you are ready to go. I have been thinking that I will use fake rings just to ease my nerves that day. My little soon-to-be nephews are very trustworthy, but who knows what kind of crazy shenanigans might take place as they are waiting to walk down the aisle.

I also love this ring pillow from Chicago knottie KatVon as featured on Style Me Pretty.

Although I love the fresh look of these flowers, you could probably DIY this with some small silk flowers. What are those? Little mums? That fat chocolate silk ribbon is also a nice touch.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am a sucker for little kids with glasses, but I like Martha’s ribbon ring pillow also:

She also includes some DIY instructions. Substitute in your grammy’s handkerchief or a piece of your mom’s veil and you have a gorgeous something old and a little pillow for your home.

Any other fun DIY ideas for ring pillows?

Ugh. That stupid Martha handkerchief pillow plagues me. I finally tracked down 8″ pillow forms (a hard enough task, itself). But I am completely unable to find a handkerchief big enough! A 13″ one is entirely too small and I can’t find one any bigger. Maybe I’ll chuck the whole idea and go to Target. Yes, much better for my bridal sanity. =)

I was thinking the same thing! There are some awesome pin cushions on Etsy. We used the 1920’s ring box that he proposed with.

I’ve also seen random things that would look cool as ring “pillows”: A twig coaster, a giant flower, a stuffed animal, a top hat, a shoe, a picture frame, a ribbon inspiration board, I could on.

I second the birds nests! I wanted to pass around our rings and have each of our guests bless them, but I’m not sure of the logistics yet.

I THIRD the birds nests! I’ve yet to see any pictures of this done. Someone please do so and report back. Thank you.

I’m making our ring-pillow now, using Martha’s ribbon ring pillow recipe. So far so good, except that I sewed down the corners and wasn’t supposed to.

I’ll keep us posted on how it works…
