As experienced crafters of bridal accessories, we've perfected this timeless project. Create a personalized lace garter for your wedding day to honor tradition and spark joy at the reception.
Wrap a flexible tape measure around your thigh at the desired position for the garter. Record the exact circumference for a perfect fit.
Trim a piece of elastic lace about three inches shorter than your thigh measurement. This snug fit ensures it stays secure without slipping during the ceremony.
Fold the lace in half with right sides together, aligning the short ends. Stitch along the short edge to form a continuous band.
Press the seam open, fold and pin the raw edges along the side seam. Sew a sturdy rectangular bar tack to lock it in place for lasting wear.
Use a needle and thread to securely hand-sew your chosen embellishments onto the garter.
Start with a sparkling rhinestone button and black lace flower from your local craft store. Sew the button firmly into the flower's center.
Stitch the flower’s back directly to the right side of the garter, opposite the seam. Sew only at one side or point to maintain stretch—perfect for any embellishment.
You're all set! Wear it proudly, and if you cherish the memory, skip the toss to keep it as a treasured keepsake.
