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!

Add Asian Flair to your Wedding!

GreensetThis beautiful handmade Wedding Set includes a 6" x6" ring bearer pillow and a flower girl basket that is 5.5"x7.5"X3" with a handle that extends 6".

Small, Asian-inspired black and gold flowers adorn vivid emerald green satin fabric. The pillow has several notable features:
-A handcovered button fastens 1/16th satin ribbon to securely hold your precious rings.
-Ivory colored heart shaped stone beads, and three small gold beads affixed to the ends of the ribbons.
-Holding band  has been hand stitched to the backside so small hands can securely carry those rings!
The basket also had unique details:
-Completely covered with coordinating green fabric-even the handle!
-The rim has been hand-beaded with black and gold glass beads.
-The interior and bottom of basket have unique gathers to fit the fabric around the basket.
This was my first stab at a set.   I love the way it came out. The pillow is of a simple design, since the print really is the showcased feature.  I think the beading on the basket really complements the handmade feel of the set. Recently, I have decided to  mostly offer items that you can mix and match, so you're not obligated to but both items, but in this case, the two are only be offered together for the time being. Of course, the price is incredibly reasonable, so buying both isn't even a question!!
