Holiday Blues

Nothing like a blue and white wrapped gift for the Chanukah season!  I had made a ring bearer pillow earlier that has already found a wedding using the same ribbon--the blue and white is so versatile-the first pillow had a blue base, so I thought I would give white a go--you know how I love to dress up that traditional white pillow!!
The pillow is a 7"x7" square, from a beautifully soft, white faux microsuede with a finished seamed edge. The ribbon is, of course, a blue and white plaid, with sheer sections, placed across the pillow like a present. There is a holding band across the back, using the same blue plaid ribbon. The center is punctuated by one of my coordinating, hand beaded, hand covered buttons.  This button is extra big, covered with the white faux microsuede with five concentric rows of beading. The beads are clear glass with shades of blue interiors. I finished the white 1/16th " satin ring holding ribbon with four small glass beads  that match the button and one cornflower blue frosted glass bead. This pillow has many fine details, but a simplicity that I find appealing.
I do love the "gift" design-it would complement a casual or a formal wedding.
