Supplies
Satin Pillow (White, Black or Violet to make the colors pop)
3-4 Peacock Feathers
Wide band of Satin Ribbon
2 Large Rhinestone Beads
Thin strands of Satin Ribbon (in either the same color as the wide band, or in black to feel like an extension of the feather)
Scissors
Hot Glue
Needle & Thread
Take your pillow & lay it flat. With your wide ribbon, tie a knot in the very center of the ribbon. Carefully insert the stems of the feather through the center of the knot, making sure to carefully fan out the feathers at an angle, and hot glue in place.
In the center of the pillow, using your needle & thread, sew your strands of satin ribbon to the center & run your needle & thread through to the other side creating a dimple in the middle of the pillow. The strands are to hold the wedding rings. Continuing to use the thread, sew through the back of the knot in the large satin & line it up with the dimple in the center to affix it to the pillow. Tie off your thread.
With the loose ends of the ribbon, cut them at an angle so they meet at the back & slightly overlap. Use a thin line of hot glue to close the loop. Then glue your rhinestone beads, one on each side of your knot as an added sparkle. Your pillow is complete and ready for the big day.
