You could use fabric from the wedding if not too expensive. Alternatively, back with paper in your wedding colours - you could also add the wedding date, venue & your names.

Fabric would be trickier but would be a nice personal touch. I still have a lavender bag made with offcuts from the bridal party waistcoats & dresses from a wedding I attended well over 10 years ago!

Great idea 👍💗

View quoted message Oh, I love the idea of lavender bags made from the offcuts of the fabric! A lovely keepsake. Coloured paper or card is a good idea for the back of the keyrings (only issue with that being that we don't have a set colour theme!!)

Just look at the colours you are using in the wedding and go from there - e.g. groom's suit, flowers, bridesmaids dresses etc. We didn't have a 'set colour theme' as such, but found that some colours were naturally repeating.

Printed with names and dates or fabric from your wedding sound perfect. One thing though, I assume that you have tested if the cross stitch will even fit in the holder. I have just done a handful and found that it will only take photo paper back to back and that was a struggle getting the two halves to properly close. Apart from the crosstitch being on fabric + the thread - isnt it even thicker on the back ?

View quoted message The thickness should be fine the backs have a little bit of extra space. 😊 I'll have to try one and see how it works.

One finished keyring with bridesmaid dress fabric backing.

That's lovely!

Glad they fit ok, I struggled with just two photos, the part you push back in was tricky getting it to sit back down. Maybe mine were a bit too cheap (personal use only )
