Has anyone given the thought about making their own pillow?? I am thinking about it but not sure how hard it would be to do. I have look alot of places and haven't found really what I want so thinking about making it myself. What do u think?

Go for it! I can barely sew a button on, and ended up making my entire veil from scratch. Here are some instructions I found. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/863707/how_to_make_your_own_ring_bearer_pillow.html

I made a really, really simple one with some satin material, stuffing, and ribbon. It can be easy or difficult, depending on the look you are going for.

I have a pic of mine at home.. when i get home tonite, i'll post it.

I as well did my own ring bearer pillows (we're having 2)... it was easy and fun! and ended up costing me like $2.50 a pillow!

I made ours too and it was soooo easy. I found pillows that looked exactly like this that was $45! I think I spent $3 for a yard of fabric and and I already had ribbon for other projects.

this is the only pic I could find but it gives you the idea.

I like the one that someone did who bought the pillow---it's very pretty! I would suggest doing that and just adding some ribbon to it!

I made the pillows for my daughter's wedding. They were very easy to do and turned out very nice. When I get home, I will find a picture and post it for you. I think they cost us a total of $5.00 for 2.
