Make a unique garter that reflects you on your special day
I didn't want a pre-packaged garter for my wedding ensemble, so I made my own!

You Will Need
-
Step 1
Cut your elastic to fit around your thigh (wherever you'll be wearing your garter). Subtract a few inches so that the garter will fit nice and snug.
-
Step 2
Cut a strip of fabric that is 3 inches wide and double the length of your piece of elastic. Fold in half with right sides in and sew along the edge.
-
Step 3
Turn the tube of fabric right sides out (I used tweezers). At this point, you'll want to add lace, ribbon, etc. to the tube- however you want to decorate it.
-
Step 4
Use a safety pin to thread your elastic through the tube, making sure it stays flat. Sew together the ends, add some ribbon-y, button-y flair and whatnot, and you're all set!
