Are you creating a rustic, vintage-inspired theme for your wedding? You'll need something unique for your ring bearer to carry down the aisle. I created this DIY ring bearer box with lace and a simple water-color staining technique. Your guests won't believe you made this box! Bonus: it makes a great jewelry box after the wedding!
Use your watercolor set to paint your wooden box. I used a mixture of brown and black paints to get the color of my box.
If you wet the wood with your paintbrush first, it helps the color go onto the wood in a lighter coating. This allows you to “build” the color up as little or as much as you’d like to reach your desired effect.
After your box is dry, you can apply your lace. The white lace really pops on the natural wood tone I created with the watercolor stain.
Place your lace around the lid of your box and cut it to size.
Use a foam brush to add a coat of Mod Podge® to your box, then press your lace onto the box and set aside to dry.
Voila! A Watercolor-Stained Lace Ring Bearer Box!
But what about the inside? Fear not! I’ve got an idea for that, too!
Cut your burlap into a strip that’s about 2.75″ wide. Then fold the strip into thirds and place it gently into your box.
Next, you’ll stitch your ribbon to attach it to your burlap.
Finally, you can tie the rings onto the ribbon and tie into a bow and use your scissors to trim the excess ribbon.
I just love these beautiful ring bearer boxes, and I hope that they inspire you to take on this simple project for your own big day! These would make a sweet keepsake box to use in your home after the big day, too! Hope you enjoyed this project — happy planning!
