I created a cake pincushion then decided to turn it into a wedding cake keepsake.

This is so cute! Not only for the bride, but perhaps it would be nice to give to the bridesmaids as thank-you gifts for being bridesmaids. Also for the Mothers of the bride and groom, etc. This is just a really super idea, I just love it! Hugs, Marji

wooow, this is unique, and the idea for a gift is super good ****

A very nice idea and I saw the project on the link, very creative!! Love the lace work.

What a wonderful idea for a wedding keepsake.

Very nice--just couldn't cut up my wedding dress no matter how yellow it is. LOVED your Willie bathrobe from your gallery! And the casserole holders--very cute!

What a super idea

VERY PRETTY

Reen, thank you for sharing your great design and web site with us - *4U

This is so pretty and unusual. What a great idea you had. I'd hate to cut up my wedding dress, tho. I think I'd pick up some lace at the fabric store or make my own. Very pretty!! How big is it?

Thanks. My wedding gown is over 30 yrs old. Even though I had it professionally preserved, it still yellowed in spots, etc. I've made several things from it.

It ends up being approx. 4.5" x 4" x 6".
There's quilting on it and our names, date & 'icing' are on the wide end.

You can see more photos of it here, including the names & date.
