Wedding Bands That Won’t Break The Bank
Wedding bells are in the air at Green Options, Deb over at our sister blog Feelgood Style is getting married next week, and recently wrote a fascinating article on greening your wedding.
I have a little longer left to plan fortunately and I’m feeling very inspired by an article I found at Portovert on making your own wedding rings, specifically making them from old silver coins. These DIY wedding bands could even be made from coins manufactured in the year of your - or each others birth, what a lovely touch.
This wikiHow article gives detailed instructions on making the rings as well as explanations of what can go wrong and why - always useful. But even if it does take a couple of attempts to perfect, at $3 a shot your hardly going to break the bank.
My husband actually made me a ring this way - not my wedding band, but it looks almost exactly the same as my wedding band. It’s really cool because if you take it off you can still read “LIBERTY” and “United States of America around the inside of the band.
That picture is wonderful. Did you take it? Any idea how I could get a copy? I might try this to make my husband a new wedding band…he beats his up too much so this would be a nice option. Plus it will mean more and we could make it together! Thanks for the neat idea.
I wish I could take pictures like that, this image is from a royalty free website stock.xchg.
I’d love to hear how you get on with making these, were definatly thinking about trying it too.
