Description

Instructions

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.

7. 

   When dry, attach lace pendant to necklace.

8. 

   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.

9. 

   Step back and admire your work. You're now finished, yay!
