Harry Potter Ring Bearer Book for Helen


 Helen had requested a special gift from me for her bridal shower gift.
She needed a ring bearer pillow. In lieu of a pillow, I put together a
ring bearer book instead since she is a language arts teacher.

"What's Helen's favorite book?" I asked her fiance.
I expected something along the lines of "Pride and Prejudice" or "Wuthering Heights". 
"Helen really likes the Harry Potter series," he answered.
Dammit.
"Okay, which book?" I asked, not that it would make a difference.
"Her favorite is the first one," he said.

Michael's had storage boxes in the shapes of books on sale.
I resized, printed and laminated the cover onto the box. Then made
a satin pillow for the ring inside to rest upon.

Out of all the things I made for Helen's wedding, this was the clearly the crowd favorite.
