Pillow Design Options
You can find many options for decorating pillows for wedding rings on the Internet. You can draw inspiration from there, but still show your originality and add your own details.
Pillows on which lace is located on the sides look good. It can be sewn using a machine. It is better not to glue the lace, as glue droplets may be visible through it.
A combination of red velvet and pearls looks very impressive. Glue two large artificial pearls and small pearls around them. The rings will be held on the pillow by these large pearls.
Also, the rings can be held with a tape. Tie two bows and stick them on the pillow. Bows threaded into rings will not only hold wedding rings firmly, but will also look original in photographs.
An excellent decoration for the pillow will be flowers. You can roll them up from tapes: there are a lot of workshops on the Internet for making various ribbon flowers, so you can find your inspiration there.
You can also make flowers from foamiran. They look like real ones and will look especially relevant in the decor of a wedding in the style of shabby chic. Flowers can also be made from a cut of the atlas: cut out uneven circles and process their edges with a lighter. Jagged edges look like petals, and circles stacked on top of each other will become a real flower if you add a few small beads inside, like stamens.
Round pillow
You can experiment not only with the decor, but also with the shape of the pillow. A round pillow for rings will look very interesting. You can make fabric tucks on it in some places to imitate royal upholstery.
To get a round shape, it is better to choose a dense fabric and glue it with a glue gun, also leaving an un-glued area for turning the pillows out. After stuffing the pillows, you need to wrap the non-glued edges inward and sew this place with a blind seam. It’s very difficult to stitch around the machine round, but with the help of glue you can achieve the perfect shape. The main thing is to draw a line in advance along which you will glue.
Heart pillow
Another unusual shape for a wedding pillow is a heart. The form itself speaks of love that reigns in a pair of newlyweds. It can also be achieved with a glue gun. It will be much more difficult to flash carefully on a typewriter or manually.
To make the heart pillow perfect, first make a stencil on paper, and then circle it with a tailor's chalk on the fabric. Cut out two hearts leaving a seam allowance. To fill a pillow for rings of this shape you need to be very tight!
Decorating it is best not very plentiful, because such a wedding pillow in itself will be interesting to look at. Sew a satin ribbon bow on which the rings will be held, and add a bead in the middle. Such a minimalistic design will be enough.
Thus, it became clear that even a pillow for rings can easily be made with your own hands. There are many options, not only for its decoration, but even for the choice of shape. Experiment, show your originality, but do not forget that the details of the ceremony, made in the same style, look most beautiful: glasses, candles, a bottle of champagne, a garter and, of course, a pillow for wedding rings.
