Steps To Complete
|
Battenburg lace designs are embroidered onto water-soluble stabilizer. When the stabilizer is soaked away, beautiful lace remains behind. |
|
Battenburg lace is digitized for 30-35 weight cotton thread. This thread brings a classic, hearty, and traditional look to the lace pieces. |
|
You will use the same thread in both the top and the bobbin. Wind a bobbin with the cotton thread.. |
|
Trim the excess stabilizer away. Then, soak the pieces in water to remove the remaining stabilizer. |
|
Place the lace piece wrong side up. |
|
Add another stick. Add hot glue to the top half, and press it in place. The top of the stick should be 1 1/2" from the first stick, angled so it overlaps the first stick at the center bottom of the lace. |
|
Tie a ribbon around sticks where they meet. |
|
If you are working with the smaller size of the fan, use five craft sticks that are 4 1/2" long. |
|
Add embellishments to your fan. In this example, a satin rose and ribbon have been affixed using hot glue. |
|
Use your Battenburg lace design to add a hint of elegance to end tables, dressing tables, powder rooms, and bathrooms. |
