Custom Pillows of all Shapes and Sizes!

Welcome to the exciting world of custom ring bearer pillows!!  I can make any size or shape we can come up with, match your theme and colors, or just help you to express your true self though fabric, ribbon, beading and creativity.  Do you have a specific idea in mind, such as a holiday themed pillow, or perhaps a ring bearer pillow for your Dog- of-honor?  I can work with you to come up with the perfect pillow.
Creating your own custom ring bearer pillow can be fun and challenging as you sort out your themes and colors.  As your plan comes into focus, I will provide swatch samples via email and sketches of what your pillow will look like, as well as photos of the progress, as we keep in close contact about all elements of your special pillow.

Some elements we can work with:

How much embellishment?
Some folks go for the simple style, while others love the hand quilted rosettes or flowers spilling over the edges. Beading and ribbons can also dress up your pillow.  The choice is yours.
The edges of the pillow also play a huge part on the finished look of the pillow.  Lace edges can give a traditional look, a seamed single stitch edge, a particular elegance, and a triple seams edge, contemporary flair.  The options are as boundless as our imaginations--and I am always willing to make suggestions!
Once we have created your ideal pillow, you may want to continue your theme through other elements.  I can make favors such as bookmarks or mini-pillows and more.  I also can create a guest book covered with matching fabric.  Check it out on the site.
I charge a small fee for working with you to create your pillow--this helps defray the cost of buying the swatches to provide as samples and the time it takes to provide the sketches and photos for your perusal.  When the pillow is complete, I post it, and you purchase it directly from the site.  I keep the image up, to provide visitors with an example of  what custom work can be, but it is not available to the public--remember, that pillow was made especially for you!

Leopard Love

P1041478I have been trying a couple of pillows made from fur lately. A furry ring bearer pillow is guaranteed to different from any other pillow you may have seen!
Faux Leopard being my personal favorite, I would like to introduce "Leopard Love," your personal ticket to the jungle wedding of your dreams!
I have tried to  standardize the size of the pillows that I randomly create to approximately 7"x7", so Leopard Love is the perfect size square. (I can still customize any size your heart desires.) The ribbon for your rings is an ethereal gold gossamer, with beads decorating the end that mimic the leopards spots. And of course, there is a hand covered button in the center of the pillow. The edgeP1041479 is double stitched for a finished, elegant look, and the backside bears a band for which the youngster to hold on.
Let me describe this fur to you for a moment... please indulge me...the nap is  smooth and multi-directional, and the pile thick enough so that it really looks and feels like fur--it is very realistic, so if you are inclined to pet the fabric, as I often am, it feels like I am petting my short haired dog.  The pattern of the leopard repeats, but is big enough so that on the pillow, it does not repeat. There is a subtle gradient of color from brown P1041477to tan with spots in gradually increasing sizes.  Out of the corner of my eye, it actually looks like a leopard is sitting on my sewing table.  But seriously, folks, this is great fabric!
As I mentioned before, all pillows on this site are open to be customized and I would also love to work with you to come up with your ideal ring bearer pillow, or any pillow you may want.

In the PINK!!

P1041473_1Wild and wooly, this sassy, hot pink fur ring pillow is not for the tame!  When I found this fabric I knew I could do something great with it.  This could be the special element that makes your
wedding!!

Seven inches square, this pillow is softly stuffed to allow the fur, which is coverd in textural whorls, to really speak for itself. The center has the custom covered button, with a 1/4 inch satin ribbon tipped with iridescent pink beads. I double stitched the edges for an elegant, finished look. 

One of my favorite features of this fur is that is has an almost tie-dyed look, with parts lighter pink and parts richer pink.  This really gives the fabric character and depth.

If you totally love this fabric, but are not yet at the point (or past the point for that matter) of getting a ring bearer pillow, I can make custom pillows of just about any size or shape!  Just contact me through email at elanadavis@gmail.com.
