No-Sew Ring Pillow

Make This No-Sew Ring Pillow

This is a sweet dream of an idea, if we do say so ourselves. We made these easy ring pillows from one of our favorite party go-tos: Sferra linen cocktail napkins. The wide hem is just the right size for a line of Dritz's Stitch Witchery adhesive tape, which bonds fabric together when you iron it.

Ring Bearer Book

Make This Ring Bearer Book

Our ring book is easier for little hands to clasp than a slippery pillow, and your tiny attendant will love that it contains a secret compartment filled with treasures only he is entrusted to deliver. To personalize your book, use a desktop-publishing program to create an iron-on monogram.

Button Ring Pillow

Mismatched pearl buttons, vintage and new, lend this ring pillow a homespun note. Simple to make from two pieces of felt and a bit of polyfill stuffing, its edges cut with scallop shears, it even incorporates a hint of "something blue" with the pale blue thread.

Pincushion Ring Pillow

Credit: Annie Schlechter

Your sewing box may already hold your ring pillow. A pincushion makes a charming one that's just the right size for little hands. All you need is a long decorative head pin, ribbon, and your rings. Thread the ribbon through the rings, and tack the ends to the cushion with the pin.

Ribbon Ring Pillow

diy-ring-pillows-mw0404gtha2-ribbon-0515.jpg
Credit: James Baigrie

A handmade ring pillow will look lovely from all angles when its sides are crafted from pretty ribbon. To give the cushion a tufted effect and to provide a spot for the rings to nestle, add a button by stitching all the way through. Attach the rings by tying them to the button with a thin ribbon.

Layered Organza Ring Pillow

diy-ring-pillows-mwd104300-pink-orange-0515.jpg

To make this ring pillow, cut ten 5-inch squares of sheer pink and orange organza. Stack, then stitch a 4-inch square in the center, leaving a 1-inch opening. Stuff batting into the pillow. Finish stitching to close the square. Trim organza edges with scalloping shears.

Floral Ring Pillow

diy-ring-pillows-ml408a04-mums-0515.jpg
Credit: Annie Schlechter

Create a soft, plump pillow using flowers instead of fabric. Cut a block of floral foam to size and poke 'Kermit' chrysanthemum stems into top and sides. Push a U-shaped piece of green floral wire through foam; bend tips flush against bottom of block. Cover bottom by pinning paper over. Tie rings to wire with ribbon.

Vintage Linen Ring Pillow

Make This Vintage Linen Ring Pillow

It's only fitting to present the symbols of a new union on a beautiful "something old": a pillow embellished with an heirloom handkerchief or another vintage linen. A few stitches keep everything in place and can be snipped later. If you don't have a vintage piece, you can find one at a flea market.

Silk flowers add elegance to a ring pillow. A crisp fabric holds its shape well; we used silk dupioni, shantung, and taffeta.

Shell Ring Pillow

good-things-shell-ring-mwd108461.jpg

Even if you're not tying the knot with your toes in the sand, this is one chic way to bring a bit of the seaside to your soirée. Start with a shell you already have (high-five if you picked it up on your first vacation together as a couple). Not a beachcomber? Just buy one online (we like Shell Horizons). Then gild the inside with Testors enamel paint in gold and attach a piece of ribbon with a hot-glue gun.

Sequined Ring Pillow

diy-ring-pillows-wd105786-sequins-0515.jpg
Credit: Raymond Hom

Give a basic white cushion a brilliant, sequined edge. The reflective surface will make your rings beam even brighter. And thanks to the gleaming piping, it's hard to miss (something a nervous ring bearer will appreciate). Just simply secure sequins to the edge of a store-bought ring pillow with glue.

Pocket Watch Ring Boxes

See More Ring Boxes

Turn a vintage pillbox into a sure-to-be-treasured keepsake. Line the inside with velvet by gluing a piece to the top, and then folding some around a cardboard circle and taping it to the bottom. As an added measure, have a jeweler attach a chain you can clip onto an attendant's belt loop.
