This week, apart from numerous creme egg critters a friend wanted instead of a party bag for her daughter's birthday party...

| Happy Birthday! |
I was also asked for something I have never made before, a wedding ring pillow. The requirements were very specific - for a three year old page boy to carry, 8 inches square, very plain and simple in ivory.
So after, much pondering, fabric looking and some sketching, this is what I've made.

The fabric has a very delicate pin dot pattern on it and I've covered a button for the middle. I've used a cotton fabric, as I thought it would be less slippery than satin for a little one to carry.

My last idea was to put a strap on the back that he could tuck his hands in for extra security.

safer carrying?

I do hope the bride likes it.

The ring pillow look great. I hope the bride and groom like it.
Good idea adding an extra strap. Don't want the pillow getting dropped on the big day.
I think that you have really thought of everything. The discreet handle at the back is brilliant but if it does get dropped the rings won't roll away anyway. I think it is perfect.
The pillow is so sweet as are creme eggs :)
Lovely idea with the strap on the back.

I love the ring pillow - the handle on the back is inspired and such a brilliant idea! I think you could have a market for these and now you have a sample to take orders from!
What a lovely idea. I also love the Creme Egg Critters, such pretty Easter time colours.
That's a clever idea for a ring pillow adding a strap makes it easier to carry but it's not too visible. I think you may be making more.
So pretty - I made one for a friend's wedding in December and I was fairly bursting with excitement when the little pageboy walked up the aisle with 'my cushion'! Like the idea of non-slip cotton too.
You have put a lot of thought into the cushion design and it looks really good. I'm sure the bride will love it
The strap at the back is such a great idea - well done. Gorgeous Cream Egg Critters too. Hope you have a good week.
What a lovely pillow, great idea to add the strap to it too x
Love the wedding ring pillow. The strap at the back is a brilliant idea.
The creme egg critters are so cute.
WOW - what a fab cushion! I bet they'll love it, it's really beautiful! Simmi x
