Wedding Ring Pillow

This Wedding Ring Pillow looks complicated, but it really isn't.

No special needle skills needed outside of basic embroidery and hand sewing.

The materials are a good bleached batiste, satin ribbon, manufactured rosebuds, some lace, in this case, out of my antique hoard, and a touch of some gold mylar cording I found on sale by the spool.

The real secret here is the rings. They're not rings at all, but plain earring hoops with the earlobe fasteners hidden under the rosebud and ribbon.

And the touch of color under the lace border is a wider purple ribbon laid down and stitched under the trim lace.

On the reverse, I added a strap for little hands to hold onto.

It's nice to make these in a way that the pillow filling can be slipped out and the flat pillow can be put in a shadow box and framed.
