Benefits of making your own ring cushion:
Today there is a huge selection of different accessories on the wedding goods market. Their varied designs, shapes and colors are amazing. However, for such pleasure you will have to pay a large sum. In addition, a homemade pillow has such advantages compared to a purchased one, such as: uniqueness (an item made according to your own sketch is unlikely to be found at other newlyweds’ celebrations); the ability to create the model that you need (often it is simply impossible to purchase a product that fits all parameters); your own realization (having created such a small masterpiece, you will feel like a real master); personal participation in preparation for the event.In addition, a handmade pillow for rings will contain so much warmth, love and tenderness that others and, of course, your loved one will feel it.
Materials
Creating a wedding accessory for rings is quite simple. To do this you will need the following materials:
-fabric (preferably stretch satin);
-lace;
-satin ribbons of different widths;
- synthetic winterizer;
-spool of thread;
-needle;
-scissors;
-transparent glue (it is better to use a moment crystal or a glue gun).
This basic set will allow you to create a rather delicate pillow. If you want to get a more elegant result, stock up on rhinestones, beads, semi-pearls and other decorative “things”. We create the basis of the product. To sew the base of the pillow, cut a rectangle from satin fabric 18 centimeters long and 18 centimeters wide.
Steam the part immediately. To prevent the edges from becoming moist, scorch them over an open fire. Make an indent from the edge on each side and draw a line. As a result, you should end up with a square. Start stitching the front and back surfaces of the rectangle. Three sides should be connected, and leave the fourth half unfinished. If you are working without using a sewing machine, it is recommended to sew a stitch “back with a needle”. This way you will get tight and neat seams that will not tear when deformed. Turn the resulting part inside out and fill it with padding polyester. To ensure that the surface is evenly filled, it is advisable to use a single piece of this material, carefully placing it in the corners of the pad. Carefully close the remaining incision.
Decorating a pillow.
Now you have the finished base of the pad in your hands. You can sew ribbons, bows, beads or other elements to it at your discretion. We will take a more difficult path.From fabric of a lighter shade, cut out a square so that its size differs from the base by 2-3 centimeters. This will be the front side of the pillow, visible to the newlyweds, guests and the camera lens. Sew the edges on all sides. Glue a satin ribbon to the top of the square so that its ends are not visible. Glue the lace below in the same way. To add originality to the product, make a stitch along the entire perimeter of the face square, retreating 3-5 millimeters from each edge. Make two bows from satin ribbons 1 and 0.5 centimeters wide and glue them to the decorative square. The final step is to attach the decorated element to the cushion blank. To make the product look more presentable, leave it under pressure for 2-3 hours. All you have to do is place the rings on the pillow, threading them through the satin bows.
