Product with lace on the sides

Although ring pads come in a variety of shapes, such as rectangular, round, heart-shaped, we will first look at the standard square-shaped variant. For sewing, you need to pick up two pieces of white thin fabric. You can use crepe de chine or even satin. As a filler, you can take both synthetic winterizer and artificial cotton wool. For decoration, buy a carved lace ribbon. The rings are held in the center with a thin white satin ribbon. They can be linked together or individually.

Cutting fabrics is done according to a cardboard template. When cutting along the contours, be sure to leave 1-1.5 cm at the edges for seams on all sides. Laces (cut according to the same measurements) are attached to the front part of the pillow for rings. The workpiece is sewn on the wrong side, first with stitches by hand, then stitched on three sides.

Next, you need to turn the fabric on the front side and fill the pocket with the selected filler. It remains at the end to sew the last side with an inside seam and attach the ribbon to the very center. The edges of the ribbons are finished with clear nail polish.

Decorating crafts in the corners

The wedding ring pillow can be arranged a little differently. The base of white fabric is sewn by the method described earlier, connecting two parts of a square shape. The product is decorated with a piece of organza, which is sheathed with a pillow so that a printed pattern is obtained in the corners and in the center.

You can highlight the central point with a bead flower, sewing the decor through the entire craft. Thus, a small dent is formed in the very middle of the pillow. This is done in order to fix the position of the rings. Do not forget to sew on a thin ribbon, because it is to it that they will be tied before the ceremony.

Bright central accent

After creating a pattern, such a pillow for rings is sewn together with a wide ribbon. It can encircle the entire craft or leave it only on the front. You can choose any color scheme of the ribbon, except for black, of course. White fabric is decorated with pasted rhinestones, pebbles, beads. The color of the decorating elements can be neutral - white or transparent, however, elements that match the ribbon in color will look beautiful.

When the main part of sewing the pillow for wedding rings is over, a wide strip in the center is pulled together with a thin ribbon of the same color, picking up the fabric. The place for the rings is fixed with a brooch of two hearts. The ends of a thin ribbon hang down with long ends. During the ceremony, it is on them that one and the other ring is attached.

Delicate crafts

Satin crafts for the wedding ceremony will be tender and romantic if you choose a pastel color for the fabric. It can be pale pink, peach and even pale lilac. Finishing is matched exactly to the tone of the base. The lace insert should occupy more than half of the total area of the front side of the product.

To attach the rings, use a wide dense ribbon in tone so that the rings do not fall out, but are held on the loops of the bow. They are pulled right up to the knot. The edges of the tape are treated with PVA glue so that they do not shaggy. Droplet-shaped beads will look interesting on the corners.

Craft from wide weaving ribbons

An effective pillow for rings (see photo below) can be made from the same strips of satin ribbons by weaving. To do this, lay them out on a flat surface and stretch each horizontal part in turn through the vertical strips.

At the ends everything is fastened with pins. When weaving is completed to the end, the edges are attached around the perimeter. The back side is sewn simply from satin fabric. At the final stitching of the details on the wrong side, pieces of carved lace are inserted on the sides.

A thin blue ribbon is first sewn onto the front part, on which rings for the wedding ceremony will subsequently be tied. The attachment point is closed with a wide horizontal bow with a decorative buckle.

Felt heart

If someone in the family is fond of felt felting from wool, invite him to create such a cute felt heart. You can give the product any other shape, but it is most appropriate to make a heart.

A ribbon for rings is sewn in the center of the front part.

Non-traditional products

OptionsThere are many different types of wedding pillows for rings. If love between a girl and a guy arose at a seaside resort, then it would be logical to make a stand for rings from a huge shell. Of course, you first need to effectively decorate it. The photo below shows approximately how this can be done.

The entire edge of the craft is glued with rhinestones and beads of different sizes. The central part has a thickening due to several pasted small shells. Use a hot glue gun for better adhesion.
