  • I just did a wedding that had a lot of stuff like this. The bride and groom even made their own rings. His had the batman symbol on it. LOL. Well……….it was unique.

  • What a lovely idea. My fiancĂ© and I did the same thing with some lovely patterned material that we found in a little shop where we live, makes a beautiful little pillow!

  • What an amazing idea. My friend did something similar with some material she found in her loft. She ended up making the most beautiful little pin cusions you’ve ever seen. A great idea. Lovely little gifts too.
