A ring bearer will keep a firm grip on his task with a stretchy ribbon band. We used wide and thin elasticized velvet ribbons.

1. Cut wide ribbon to fit snugly around pillow; line up ends with one side seam, and sew on.

2. Overlay with thin ribbon (8 inches longer than wide one); sew on at side seams.

3. Knot ribbon at pillow's top. Thread rings on; tie a bow.

The ring bearer slips his hand under band at bottom.
