DIY Garter & Toss Garter

If you can't sew I would look on etsy. They can make one for you in any pattern.

I am a fellow military bride and they most likely cannot match the fabric exactly. Worse case is you would need to mail them enough fabric to make the garter.

Yeah I looked on etsy and they definitely don't match the fabric (most of their's are digi-print). I want it the be my "somthing old" so I don't want to have to purchase it offline or mail them the fabric. What if I hate it after I get it? I can't return it

I may just have to practice on my sewing...but I don't how to use the elastic and organza. I looked it up on ebay but didn't really get any good hits on how to DIY.

I never made them, but the cheerleaders made them in H.S. for fundraisers... I think they even sewed them by hand, if I remember correctly, they were sitting at the cafeteria table ... They are really easy to make at home.....

I've made something similar to a garter, the hardest part would be the trim. The elastic part is the easiest!

I am going to start my attempt at this one will post pics once it's done.
