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!

Tangerine Dream

Orangedream_1Orange is my all time favorite color! To note, I just got a sparkly orange manicure today-to match this pillow! The fabric is a multi faceted orange, with gold threads shooting through, giving it such a fantastic sheen; I was breathless when I saw this fabric. Light positively emanates from the curves so that it glistens in the light. So, naturally, I felt obligated to showcase it here, for you.
This pillow is approximately 7" square. with a stitched edge. The  hand covered Centerdtlod_copybutton is ensconced within  three layers of ruched rounds, complemented by 1/4" gold chiffon ribbon to securely fasten your rings. The ends of the ribbon are decorated with orange glass beads ringed with a glittering gold spiral. The back has  a holding band about 2.5" wide, hand sewn onto the pillow.  It is wide enough to really attach to the hands of a frisky  ring bearer- nearly impossible to drop!

I am really smitten with this pillow, if you can't tell, and have even  considered this fabric for a pillow for my own wedding.  I am more than happy to offer this one to you, though!
