Making Keepsakes for Bridesmaids

RE: Making Keepsakes for Bridesmaids Post By Sheila (Guest Post) (01/04/2005) If you type wedding crafts then click on search you will find a lot of ideas. Even a lot of frugal ideas. Good Luck.

I am not sure if you have seen those dolls that people would make from vintage pillow cases, but you could replicate the idea and make a sort of "pillow case" from the dress materials and make a doll for each of the bridesmaids. Another idea is to save some scraps and make a toothfairy pillow (or several) for your daughter for when she has children. At the birth of each child you could give them each a toothfairy pillow. It is a simple little pillow with a pocket sewn onto the front of one side. Lace around the edges and a satin ribbon sewn into it for a hanger and you hang it on their doorknob or on their bedpost or knob on a bedstand drawer, etc. The child puts their lost tooth in the pocket and the "toothfairy" replaces it with money or a treat. You could sew them all now, and they will store easily until you are ready to fill them with stuffing at each birth.

Another really cute idea would be to use the fabric and beads to cover a wooden photo frame and insert a photo of the bride with each bridesmaid.
