Lace is such a romantic and feminine thing to use in jewelry. So if you
have never considered the idea, here are some awesome tutorials to inspire.
Ear ring
Cut a piece of lace and trim it
to your desired shape.
The lace I have used is very thin so I soaked
the cut lace in Elmer glue and let it dry. Then I ironed it to even itout.
I used a thick sewing needle to put a small
hole at the top of the lace trim.
Use an ear ring hook of your choice silver,
gold, bronze etc.
Put
your ear ring hook through the hole and fix it.
We are moving on to the necklace.
I cut 2 single flowers for the sides and one twin flower for
the pendant.
Follow the second step as above.
Mark two dots across the center on top and bottom on two
single flowers and punch hole. On the twin flower I got two holes next to each
other on the petals. You can have it the same way or leave one petal in the
middle and have yours on the sides ( this will bring the pendant a little up )
Add a jump ring on all the holes
Cut 2 short piece (mine was 1.5 inch) chain to connect the
pendant to the side flowers
Cut 2 long piece for the back ( mine was 8 inch you decide
this length based on how long you want your necklace to hang from your neck)
Add the chain pieces to
the jump rings and connect them into a necklace.
Now we are at the final product the bracelet.
Measure your wrist reduce an inch and cut your lace ( my wrist size was 6” I cut my lace 5” long)
Follow the second step as in the ear ring.
Cut the 2 end pieces for the bracelet I used leather (you can
use ribbon or felt) I cut the leather 1” wide, 2” long (that is the width of my
bracelet).
Fold the 1’’ wide piece in the middle and insert the bracelet
lace in between and sew on a sewing machine. ( you can hand sew also)
Punch a hole in the center and add a jump ring
Add a closure of your choice to the jump ring.
