LOVE AND LACE : History & Icons
 
Lace can be incredibly precious.
But it's also such an easy DIY.

How to make lace earrings :
 What you’ll need:
 
-lace trim or a lace doily
(ebay: key words EDWARDIAN, VICTORIAN, CHANTILLY)
-pliers
-scissors
-a pair of ear wires (and a chain)
-Elmer’s multi-purpose glue
-a bowl
 
  1. Mix equal parts water and glue in a bowl.
  2. Cut symmetrical shapes from lace.
  3. Place the shapes in the bowl; take the lace out and use the side of the bowl to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
  4. Lay your lace pieces on a flat non-stick surface and let them dry for several hours.
  5. Attach stiffened lace to ear wires using pliers.
