Small, keychain-sized plush toys are perfect for ring pillows.
If the plush’s hands can hold the rings, even better.

It could be lovely to create a ring pillow inspired by your own dog or cat.
Try decorating with animal figurines, along with elements like faux grass or ribbons.
Even after the ceremony, you can keep using it as a place to set your rings or to store small accessories.
wood burning
When it comes to ring pillows, many are made with fabric, but how about making one out of wood with lettering added by wood burning? Choose your preferred type of wood, transfer the text you want—such as the wedding date and the two names—using carbon paper, then trace over it with a heated soldering iron.
Burn the letters in with the soldering iron, decorate it as you like, and it’s done.
If you love a natural aesthetic or your wedding has a natural theme, this ring pillow will be a perfect fit.
stand-type ring pillow
When we think of a ring pillow, we tend to imagine something made of fabric, but this ring pillow might be better described as a ring board than a pillow.
It’s a stand-style ring pillow where the rings are hung rather than placed.
One advantage is that you can make it larger so everyone can see it as part of the presentation.
Why not try making one using your favorite fabrics, ribbons, sequins, and beads? You could also keep it at home and use it as an accessory stand.
Resin art
Here’s a DIY idea for a resin ring pillow.
Many of you may have tried resin art before, right? Embed your favorite items into the base, add small posts, and let it cure.
You can include dried flowers, motifs related to the couple’s favorite things or hobbies, and more.
Once it hardens, you can paint it and add the date and names to finish.
After the ceremony, it can serve as a casual ring holder that blends nicely into your room’s decor.
A classic ring pillow made with lace and satin
When it comes to wedding ring pillows, why not try making a classic one yourself using satin fabric, lace, and pearl beads? Many people prefer something traditional but find it expensive to buy, or they want to create it themselves to make it more memorable.
If you search online, you’ll find many tutorial videos from different creators—use them as a reference and craft your own favorite ring pillow.
The great thing about making it yourself is that you can be particular about the type of lace and the finer details.
