A DIY ring bearer box is the perfect addition to your DIY wedding. This rustic version worked perfectly at the rustic barn wedding we had a few weeks ago. I thought I would share here how to make this great box that also doubles as a memento for the couple after the wedding. This one was first posted over at Crafts Unleashed where I am a paid design team member but I thought I would post it here in case y’all missed it.
I have a ton of DIY wedding ideas on my site. After planning my daughter’s rustic barn wedding, I had plenty of DIY tips to share with brides!
Getting crafty with your wedding decor will save you a ton of money. Plus, you can add your own special touch and have a wedding that is completely and uniquely your own!
This ring bearer box is the perfect addition to your DIY wedding. With the wood-burned stain, you can add your names, the date, or another message on the box for the ring bearer to carry in style!

- Mini Unfinished Wood Box
- Wood Burning Tool
- Pencil
- Wood Stain
- Rag
Start by freehanding a design on the top of the wood box with a pencil. Choose a design that will work well with the wedding theme.
Use the wood-burning tool to burn the design into the wood. The tool is just like using a pencil — it is just HOT! Be careful, go slow, and you will be left with an amazing design in your wood.
Cover the entire box (inside and out) with a stain. Wipe to remove the excess. Allow the entire thing to dry completely. I also added a small piece of fabric to the inside to protect the rings. I used hot glue to secure it.
