Wedding Bells Wednesday: DIY Ring Holder

I have always enjoyed when bloggers post about their wedding plans.

I found it very helpful, and still do, so I decided to make a series of my own. Hence, "Wedding Bells Wednesday!"

But there is something you should know...our wedding will be in October.

2015.

As in...two years from now.

Therefore, this will be a pretty sporadic thing for the next year or so. But we're jumping right into planning because places are ALREADY BOOKING UP! Two freaking years in advance!

So. There is a pretty big update I will likely have for next week. For now, a craft.

I have been crafting a lot. I am still working part-time and obsessively sending resumes. But it's just not nearly enough to keep me satisfied. So when I'm not planning the next ten years of my life, worrying about things or reading the news, I craft.

(Yes, post-grad life is really strange.)

I saw something like this two years ago on Pinterest. Even though it was a long ways away, I knew I would need this when I got engaged. Obviously, you can use it for other beloved rings too.

Because 1) it's cute, 2) I lose EVERYTHING and 3) I wanted a place to put my ring while I clean, sleep, shower, etc.

Therefore, I crafted this nice little home for my ring!

And since we've been out of town a couple times, I made a travel version as well. It's smaller and more durable, and the support in the back has a magnet on it, so I keep it on my dry-erase board for now.

I plan on making versions of these for my friends when they get engaged because they really have been very helpful. 

SO. Want your own little ring frame? Here's what you need!

-Frame (I got mine at the dollar store and Target dollar section)

-Paper or thin fabric for the background

-Pins

-Cork board (I found 5x5 squares of it at Michael's)

-Decorative additions, if you wish

It's really easy to put together. You just and measure the paper/fabric and cork you need, take the glass out of the frame, and put the paper/fabric and cork in its place. The cork fits pretty snugly, but it works. Adding the pin takes some maneuvering. But that's all there is to it!

I mean, you could also just keep your ring in a jewelry box, but where's the fun in that?

Happy crafting!
