Diy ring pillow...from rags to riches!

I was waiting (or rather putting off buying a ring pillow and flower basket it was just one of the things i was like whatsever) but after I seen this pic. I felt inspired.

I tracked down where the pic came from.

Its from a fellow ETSY seller.

I looked at her other pillow that where all gorgeous buy way out of my ring pillow budget.

So I decided to try to make something myself and came up with this.

First i went to Jo-ann fabric and bought some supplies.

i bought 2 yards of white trim (i didn't end up needing 2 yd I think one would have been fine) @ $2.99

one yard of white pearl strain (that was perfect for pillow and basket) @ $1.19.

2 rose clips @ $1.39 ( I now think that these maybe too yellow for me...so I might try to find white-er flowers)

purple ribbon @ $1.99 (I already got this from michaels)

Crystal buttons @ $2.50 a button

last but not least the pillow (from michaels on sale) @ $3.79

(I also got the basket from michaels on sale fro 6 dollars).

I cut the ribbon off the pillow and add the trim I bought with a hot glue gun.

Then add the purple ribbon and the strain of pearls with small dots of glue every 2 inches.

I pulled apart the flowers and put the back together.

One on a cardboard circle for the flower basket. Because after i made the other flower lose for the pillow it looked to big for the basket so i just made it tighter looking.

I add string for the rings and the left over pearls i had.

for a grand total of $21.75 for both the ring pillow and the basket.

Thats a win for the budget that i have blown twice!

(I will post pics of the basket when it is done).

• That dose not include the cost of 1 button (cause i bought 3 but only used 2)

• The ribbon from michaels for $1.99 cause I already had that

• and one yard of the fabric trim @ $2.99 a yd (cause I bought 2 and only used 1)

Thats nice to hear! (or read)  ^_^

that looks beautiful! :) and it looks like a fun project I may have to try out!

Gorgeous! I will most likely do something similar. Thank you for the inspiration :)
