My fiancé was looking at pictures at stylemepretty.com to get ideas for our wedding this summer and came across an amazing needlepoint pillow!

Ring Bearer Pillow

I love the idea of a ring bearer pillow, so I have gotten to work on designing our own custom needlepoint kits to make a pillow for the wedding.  I don’t want the pillow to be too large, so we’ll need to work on a way be sure that our names fit.

This also got me thinking that these are great wedding gifts!  Once I get project underway, I’d love to help more people design ring bearer pillows.  I’m also working out how people who would like to give the gift, but don’t have the time to make it themselves, could buy a finished pillow.  I’m hoping to find somebody in Colorado…

The size I’m making is 5” x 7”, which we plan to leave in the house as decoration.  A 10 x 10 will also be fine, and may be more practical, but I want something a little smaller for my nephew.  You can see the preview of my design below, after I uploaded it to Needlepaint!

Custom Ring Bearer Pillow

I had to adjust some things, and I’m a sailor, so I put in a square knot, but I’m excited about this!  I’ll upload images as the project continues…
