DIY Mario Bros Inspired Bridal Sash

Personalize your wedding dress with something unique, like a sash or belt like this one inspired by the pipes and mushrooms in the Mario Bros video games. Bridal sashes or belts are a great way to add a pop of color or a touch of your geeky personality to a white wedding dress. Buying a sash from a bridal store could cost you hundreds of dollars depending on how much bling you want; but making your own is quick, easy and super affordable.  This one took me 10 minutes and cost about $5 but you can add swarovski crystals, feathers or beads to bling out your very own one of a kind bridal sash.

1 Gather your materials.
2 Cut your fabric into circles. I cut mine so they were about 4 – 5 inches long.
3 Stack at least 3 circles for one “leaf” one on top of the other and fold the circles in half.
4 Fold them in half one more time.
5 Now you have your “leaf”. Sew the bottoms to hold fabric together.
6 Pin your leaves or sew them as desired to your belt or sash.
7 You can paint white dots on red ribbon to look like mushrooms. I’m actually using a ribbon I got at the craft store that already has white dots.
 

 Add a large satin ribbon for a wider band around the waist.
