I’d love to see how it turns out!

When my daughter got married I cut lace from my dress to make her a garter.

That’s a cute idea too!

Sorrry, I still haven’t got the nerve to take the scissors to the dress!

I would love to see what the mini-dress ornaments look like! Do you have a reference photo or a sketch?

I didn’t find it too hard to cut up the dress since I use a lot of upcycled fabrics. But, I certainly get strong reactions from others when they find out. Some won’t even touch the stocking!

I do love this idea! I still have a bunch of remnants from my sister’s wedding dress, and one that I bought at a thrift store. I have been looking for other ideas of how to use these little pieces. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a wonderful idea!

Thanks Peggy! I’d love to see pictures if you do it!

oh gosh, I wish i could make that decision for you! I will say, emotionally, it was kind of tough to cut up my grandma’s dress. But I was totally sure no one would wear it. I guess if I were you, I’d just think about it a bit before deciding! 🙂

What a lovely idea! We have a pillow made from the lace of my mother-in-law’s dress and love it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Mandy! Thanks for stopping by! Well, off the top of my head, I would think that any kind of picture frame ornament would work with a piece of wedding dress. Just put the lace in instead of a photo. You could also take some small pieces and decoupage them with mod podge or something similar onto a globe ornament, that would be pretty! There are also fabric stiffening products available at the sewing store, or you can use liquid starch and you could take pieces of fabric and make them into a stiff shape that would be the ornament itself? Just add a ribbon to hang. Let me know what you decide to do or if you need more ideas, I love brainstorming! xo!

Oh, that’s a lovely idea!! You should do it!

It just takes a scrap and I don’t get nervous because of what is possible with the end products. Very fun.

I made a christening gown for my daughter out of my wedding dress. And it was very nervwrecking to make the first cut 🙂
A friend of mine made pillows out of her wedding dress, could be an idea?

Good luck, I’m sure it’ll become a great keepsake.

Thanks April! I actually have a ton of this dress left and I don’t know what to do with the rest either. My cousin took part of the dress her mom and aunt wore and made it into a ring bearer pillow which was a great idea too. Maybe save some for your kids if they want to do that? Good luck, cutting it up, that was the most nerve wracking part!!! 🙂

Thank you so much Jennifer! I’ll come check it out right now!
