Ring Bearer Pillow

Here's a project that was done on HGTV, on the Carol Duvall Show, some time ago. However, you have asked for us to include a better photo of it. So HERE IT IS!!!!

All you need is a finished ring bearer pillow, available at your favorite craft store or your local florist. Then with some ribbon, trim and lace, you make a pocket for the top to place the rings in for the ceremony. After the wedding, the pocket can hold a photo of the bride and groom.

It also makes a great gift for the bride and groom!

MATERIALS:
1 yd.	Wrights^® Flat Guimpe Decorative Braid
1/2 yd.	Wrights^® 1/4" Satin Ribbon (#223-718-030)
1	Ring Bearer Pillow (available from your favorite craft store or florist)
--	5" x 7" Tulle Fabric
--	Fabric Glue

INSTRUCTIONS:

To make a pocket, glue a length of braid along the 7" edge of tulle. Allow to dry.
Position the piece of tulle in the center of the pillow and pin in place. Glue the braid around the other three sides of the tulle, using enough glue to secure it to the pillow. Be sure to leave the original side open at the top.
Glue another piece of braid directly to the pillow along the open top of the pocket.
Cut the ribbon in half, and glue one piece on the inside of the pocket under the braid.
Glue the other piece of ribbon at the edge of the other piece of braid to serve as a closure for the pocket.
For the wedding, slip the rings into the pocket for the ring bearer to carry. After the wedding, slip a 5" x 7" photograph into the pocket for a unique memory pillow.
Enjoy!
Scented Pocket Pillow
Make this pillow in the same manner as the wedding pillow. Fill the pocket with potpourri, then place the pillow on a bed or sofa with other throw pillows to add a terrific fragrance to the room.
