The 'Red Thread' is extremely popular as a shooting prop for pre-wedding and post-wedding photos as well as for venue decoration on the wedding day. It’s an amazing item that can be easily crafted with just wire and a red string!＊

The ability to freely and adorably arrange the design by your own hands is also a great advantage ♡

Here are 8 beautiful 'Red Thread' designs, ranging from classic to unique, found on Instagram!

While checking them out, think about which design you would like to DIY!＊

Red Thread Design 1＊LOVE♡

The most classic design for the red thread is this! The cursive letters "LOVE♡".

Each of the letters L, o, v, and e is round, making them very cute＊

It's common to make the o part into a "♡".

It looks better if the spaces between the letters are kept as narrow as possible♩

Among Disney-loving brides, it's popular to shape the o into Mickey Mouse!＊

Red Thread Design 2＊Heart

For brides who say, “I have no DIY experience so something simple is best!” a design with just one heart is recommended ♡

Being simple, it looks neat and is very cute＊

To give it a bit more impact, it’s recommended to use thick wire and string!

This is a DIY string phone connecting three red thread hearts and paper cups♡

The three hearts floating above the couple convey a lovely atmosphere＊

Red Thread Design 3＊LOVE Inside a Heart

Combining the earlier designs 1 and 2 results in a beautiful design of LOVE inside a heart ♩

This adds a touch of glamor!♡

I think the easiest method is to make the heart and LOVE separately and then connect them at the end.＊

Red Thread Design 4＊Heart and Mizuhiki

For brides having a traditional Japanese wedding, here's a suggested idea of incorporating mizuhiki for the indented part of the heart!♡

The mizuhiki part may look a bit difficult, but upon closer inspection of the photo, it seems doable, so let’s give it a try by imitating it!＊

Red Thread Design 5＊寿 (Kotobuki)

A design featuring only the kanji "寿" (Kotobuki) is also perfect for a traditional wedding!＊

It's common to arrange the final dot as a heart.♡

This is the most complex and difficult design among the red thread options.

You can also shape the dot into Mickey Mouse!♡

Make sure to use a glue gun to stick the intersecting parts of the strings together so they don't float!

Red Thread Design 6＊Ribbon

Isn't this ribbon-shaped red thread just too cute?♡

The ends of the ribbon pointing slightly upwards add a stylish touch♩

Using a thinner string gives it a delicate feel, which is cute too!＊

Red Thread Design 7＊Date

I found a design representing the wedding date, "2018.3.10" ♡

It might be a bit long and balancing it could seem challenging, but if you hold this for a photo shoot, you can capture wonderful wedding photos that would be perfect for the welcome space or profile movie!＊

Red Thread Design 8＊Initials

And lastly, I'm introducing a design that connects the initials of the bride and groom with a heart in the red thread ♡

The combinations of letters will vary by couple, so

think about whether to use uppercase or lowercase letters, and imagine the final shape on paper before you DIY!♩

What kind of red thread will you create?♡

How did you like it? I introduced various designs for the classic wedding DIY item, the red thread ♩

When making the red thread, consider “What kind of wedding photos do you want to take?” and “Where will you display it?” Choose your favorite design and challenge yourself with red thread DIY!♡
