You Will Need (10 things)
- Old necklace or Chain - as much as you want
- 1 Jump Ring(s)
- Lace - needs to have a shape you can cut out
- Jewellery Pliers
- Newspaper
- PVA Glue
- Water
- 1 Popsicle Sticks (or similar) for mixing
- 1 Disposable Container(s) - big enough to fit your lace shape
- Decorations
Steps (9 steps, 20 minutes)
-
1
Lay down your newspaper on a table outside (if it's a nice day) and bring out all of your supplies.
Mix equal parts glue and water in your container - enough to cover your lace shape.
-
2
Cut out the shape you want from your lace.
-
3
Using the popsicle stick completely submerge your lace shape in the glue and water solution and let sit for half a minute.
-
4
While the lace shape is in the glue and water solution, make sure your jump ring is ready.
-
5
Take your lace shape out of the solution and attach the jump ring. Get ready to get glue on your hands!
-
6
Lay the lace shape on the newspaper LIGHTLY to dry. Check that it isn't stuck to the paper every now and then.
Mine dried in ~10 mins because it was a hot day, and was still flexible. If you want yours to be hard you may have to put it in the solution a few more times.

When dry, attach lace pendant to necklace.

If you think it looks a little plain, add some buttons, bows or anything else you have laying around to pretty it up!
I sewed an old button to the middle of mine. -
