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
-
Mix equal parts water and glue in a bowl.
-
Cut symmetrical shapes from lace.
-
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.
-
Lay your lace pieces on a flat non-stick surface and let them dry for several hours.
-
Attach stiffened lace to ear wires using pliers.
