After doing some research, I knew I wanted to add another detail to our wedding when it came to the ring bearer pillow. Of course it would have been easy to pick up a traditional white one, but I wanted to incorporate more burlap into the ceremony. I looked online at Etsy, and found several cute options. After looking at the pillows, I decided I could make one myself! I cut out 2 burlap squares - 8x8 each. I knew I was going to put stuffing inside, and wasn't sure if the stuffing would start to peek out the burlap, so I decided to fuse muslin cloth to the inside of the burlap. Then, I hand sew twine to form the pillow. Easy Peasy.
Voila! A burlap pillow. The pillow was missing a little something-something so I decided to add a rosette and some raffia. I had left over material from my wedding gown, and made a simple rosette, by twisting the fabric and hotglueing it together and onto the burlap pillow.
Turned out exactly what I envisioned. A nice little detail to add to the wedding. I'm thinking about making some more pillows and selling them on burlap. Here lately I have been wanting a sewing machine, and learn how to use it...I think it could come in handy with all these crafty projects I want to do!
