Customised my ring cushion *flash* - What next?

I am ok with ring cushions and have one for my pageboy. £35 though!!

Could you possibly cut the lace off, thats the only thing I would prefer to do.. defo looks better though!

For someone who has not doing anything like this before I think its bloody brilliant!! looks like it would if you bought it from the shop like that!

As for adding more etc, I think thats your personal choice, i quite like the way it is now, but maybe a personalised charm would be nice x

well done you!

That looks so much better. Well done you.

Nat

Thanks - I am pleased with myself,

I did think of trying to cut off the lace, but I don't think I can do it without damaging the cushion.

I know - can't believe she payed so much!! She just wanted it to be special, bless her, best intentions and all that.......

I think I may try and find a personalised charm and just see what it looks like, it could easily be used elsewhere if needs be.

That looks way better!!

Clever girl.

Im a bit undecided about ring cushions myself, not sure if to have one or not.

Will decide nearer the time I think

We didn't have a ring bearer so it kind of didn't make sense for us to have a ring cushion. I liked the idea of having a double engraved ring box and the best man pulling this out.

However... We do now have a ring bearer to go with the cushion, so i'm sure it will be fine.

Oh that's lovely, you'd never know you'd added to that. Well done.

Thats pretty see, you can be creative xxx

Thanks, I am going to stick with it and have already found my next creation... Shoes....

Ooh well done you, deffo looks better now I personally like ring cushions, our ickle page boy is carrying ours unless I have a last minute panic that he'll drop them

Well our new ring bearer will only be 2 and half and so those little ties on the cushion are only to be untied by the vicar.

Hey - it looks great!

If you are just looking for initials to make up something extra, if I've got the letters in stock I'll happily send you them out FOC .... if you wanted something made up that was a bit more sparkly, I'd happily do them - for a good price too ...

Something like these.... (without the bookmark bit and a bit longer, with your initials on)

and in these red siam swarovski colours....

SnowPatroller - I was thinking something like this - any idea of cost? Opinions on wheher it would look right?

Well done you that looks much better. It looks much better and defo ties in with your theme.

I am not a fan of ring cushions either but my OH gran has made one for every wedding so far so kinda felt i had to ask her to make one for ours. Luckily I can find a design I like and get her to make it - having said that her eyesight is goign so not sure what we will end up with!!

Aw bless you Tinks it has to be done though right, all these age old family traditions!

Thats really sweet! You'd be able to get an engraved charm like that quite easily I think from an engraving shop ... I'm not sure where you'd be putting it if you had it exactly like your photo but you could tie the charm onto a ribbon with some beads threaded above it so it hangs down from the rose/ribbon embellishment you've got already? I think that would work rather nicely!

You've done a fab job with it, you should be very proud.

How about a plain loveheart which has a little swarovski crystal in the corner? This is the only pic I have to hand. I do have engraved charms but not with initials but they say 'Bride' 'Groom' or 'Mr and Mrs'. I also have some that say 'Love' on the hearts with a red crystal in the corner which would really suit the cushion. Drop me an email if you want anything. x

Just to jump in here, my dad does engraving, mostly on glass but he can do other materials and as he does it as his main hobby really he doesn't charge much at all if anyone was interested? He is very good (but I am biased lol)

Sorry, hope that doesn't qualify as advertising??

Kayl that is a great job on your cushion! Part of me wants one cause it would be so cute having my two page boys carry one each (they will be 3 and 4 and a half) but my OH just wants his BM to have the rings.

Kat - I have sent you a personal message as I am looking for something for my BMs and wondering what kind of things your dad does. I already have necklace and bracelet so was looking for something a bit different.

Lynsey - I'd love a "Love" charm if possible. I will send you an email via your website.
