I made two. One for tossing and one for a keepsake.
Sew with right sides together and turn right side out. |
Press the seam to the center. |
Add the lace. It was cut to the same length of the tube. |
I sewed the top and bottom edge of the fabric to the lace. |
Insert elastic |
Tuck one end into the other and stitch closed. |
Add a bow and, I used a bead but you could use a tiny silk flower to add some bling. |
Garter #2 |
Turning the tube right side out. |
While pulling elastic, I secured the other end to the fabric so I didn't pull it through and have to start again........... (Just avoiding a Hulk Moment) |
Made my little bows |
I hand sewed the bows to the fabric. I was unsure of using hot glue and didn't want the bling to fall off. |
Hope she likes them! |
Cheers!
They look great! I really like the beads you used. Good thing you used a 40%off coupon. I was just thinking today, how silly I used to be actually buying items full price. Not anymore though. :)

This is so cute. To bad I am already married and can't make one for myself. But it is wedding season and I have a few single sisters. Thank you for sharing this. I was also wondering if you would be a guest blogger on my blog Doodles & Doilies. I would love for you to show this off on my blog or another one of your creative projects. Let me know...doodlesanddoilies (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI have to make one for my son's fiance soon. I made many of these back in the 70's for me and friends for proms and sorority/fraternity formals. Love the Elvis one!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are pretty impressive. Sewing really is my thing. (Probably because I"m super intimidated by it.) I wouldn't even know where to begin. Love from your newest GFC follower, Whimsically Homemade. We found you through The Creative Headquarters blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI so need to buy one for my sister's wedding this Nov! LOVE
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you can make your own wedding garter...you can make it to match the wedding colors or perhaps make it something blue....the options are almost limitless. Thanks for sharing at March Madness!
