Materials and How to Make a Ring Book!

The materials and tools for making the Ring Book are very simple.

◆ Materials and Tools ◆

① A thick foreign book

② A cutter

③ A black marker

④ Wood glue

◆ How to Make ◆

① Place a weight on your favorite page of the foreign book and leave it for a few days to make it easier to open (the earlier pages are recommended).

② Decide on the position for the rings and cut out the sections with a cutter. It’s suggested to place thick paper every 10 to 15 pages to avoid damaging the pages below so you can cut deeply. Stop right before you think “This depth looks good.”

③ Dig a slightly deeper rectangular hole in the center for the rings to fit.

④ Finally, freely write your text with the marker to complete it♡

⑤ If you want to secure the pages better, lightly apply glue to the side of the pages beneath the page where the rings will be placed.

We’ve introduced the basic method for making a Ring Book♡

Some individuals prepare even more original Ring Books. Let’s introduce some arrangement ideas for the Ring Book♩

Design Arrangement Idea #1: Creative Hole Shapes

The shape of the hole for the wedding rings is typically square, but you can creatively cut out unusual shapes like hearts or birds♡ While it's more effort than straight lines, it can make the design more personalized.

Here’s a Ring Book cut into a star shape. It’s perfect for couples having a star-themed wedding.

Design Arrangement Idea #2: Combine with Cushions

An idea to fit a cushion-type ring pillow into the cut-out hole. This creates a more pillow-like design for the Ring Book.

Here’s a Ring Book with a pearl-adorned ring pillow fitted inside. The matching ribbon color with the cover is also stylish.

Thanks to the cushion, it also helps the book open more easily.

Design Arrangement Idea #3: Create from Non-Foreign Books

While the Ring Book is traditionally made from foreign books, some brides also create them from other types of books. This Ring Book is made from an overseas interior magazine. It would also be stylish to create one from a travel book or a photo collection♡

There are brides who made a Ring Book from a comic. They copied their favorite pages from "Ranma ½" and pasted them into another comic. They even adhered the original frames to the bottom of the cut-out hole. This is an advanced DIY project that makes use of comic panel layouts.
