Hello!

 

I've been on a DIY lately and my latest creation that I wanted to share is my burlap ring bearer pillow that I upcycled from a thrift store find.  If I remember correctly, I got two small (5.5 in x 5.5 in) pillow and two small flower girl baskets for about $3.  The pillows worked out perfectly since my ring bearers will only be about 8 to 6 months respectively by the time our wedding comes around March next year so I thought I'll have it wrapped around their bellies. angel1.gif

 

I've also been looking around for a DIY tutorial online on how to put a burlap pillow, but have had no luck. I did have an idea, however, on what I wanted mine to look like from Pinterest ideas so I thought, what the heck, I'll wing it.  So here's my first attempt at this :)

My idea in mind

 

700

I trimmed the lace that was on the edge of the pillow & cut out the lace ring holder

 

700

I cut two pieces of burlap that's just a little bigger than the pillow (7x9 inches)

I didn't want to remove the filling in the pillow; and since I wanted the rough edge look, I thought it'd be easier to just insert the pillow in burlap. So...

700

I sewed the three edges.

Inserted the pillow

Placing my idea in mind to see how it's coming together

700

Sewed the top ede w/ the pillow inside. NOTE: Make sure to leave enough room up top so it fits in the sewing machine just to be safe. THEN I trimmed the edges to make it look even.

Sew the lace to the side edge

This is how the back looks like. I left it like that so the babies can fit in it. I'll probably cut it so it can just tie on their backs.

Glue the lace ring holder

Glued the fabric flower I also create from a turtorial like this: http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2012/4/3/diy-fabric-peony-flower-accessories-gift-toppers.html

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
