Now that all of the birthday party excitement is over, we will be continuing with our
DIY Wedding Series!!!
DIY Wedding Series!!!
I showed you in our wedding inspiration post this burlap ring bearer pillow which the bride had pinned on Pinterest…
I thought it was really cute & it definitely keeps with the burlap/rustic theme we are going for. I also thought that since my mom is kind of a pillow expert, that this would be no problem whatsoever!!!
She looked at the picture, gathered her supplies & literally whipped this baby up in a matter of minutes!
Pretty cute, huh?!
I know I am probably a bit bias, but I actually like this one a little better!!
I think the pearls add a touch of class to the rustic pillow!
So what do you think?!
Wanna make one of your own?!
Wanna make one of your own?!
Here is a step-by-step tutorial!!
You will need….
Burlap
Tan Colored Cotton Fabric
Cream Colored Muslin Fabric
3 Cream Colored Pearls
Fiberfill
Fabric Glue (if desired)
Hot Glue gun
Burlap Pillowcase
4.) Pin together the 9″x9″ piece of burlap & the two 9″ x 6.5″ pieces wrong side together. The 9″ x 6.5″ pieces will overlap to create an envelope.
6.) Fray edges of burlap approximately 1/2″ around the edges of the pillow.
This is what it should look like when you are done….

Back:
Pillow Form
8.) Sew the 2 pieces of tan fabric all the way around with a 1/2″ seam, leaving a 4″ opening on one side to allow you to turn the pillow form inside out.
Flowered Center
11.) Cut 4 pieces of muslin into 2.75″ diameter circles & 8 into 2.5″ diameter circles.
12.) Cut 4 pieces of burlap into 2.75″ diameter circles & 4 into 2.5″ diameter circles.
13.) Starting with the larger muslin circles, pinch together in the center & sew a few stitches to keep in place.
14.) Begin adding additional muslin circles repeating the step above until you have 4 sewn together to make a flower.
16.) Keep repeating steps #13-15 until all circles have been used using all the large circles before going to the smaller ones. Continue alternating layers of muslin petals & burlap petals.
17.) Sew 3 pearls in center of the flower.
19.) Dab fabric glue along the edges of frayed burlap & smooth in using your finger to prevent further fraying.
20.) Sit back & admire your hardwork!!
And then maybe take it outside for a photoshoot! 🙂
And if you have 2 ring bearers like we do, go ahead a whip up another while you’re at it!!
Hope you enjoyed this project!!
