This is an old craft revisited and made much simpler now with a glue gun.
Approximate Time: 2 hours
Supplies:
- 1 2/3 yards of 6 inch flat lace
- 2 1/2 yards of 3 inch gathered lace
- hot glue and gun
- 5 or 6 inch wooden ring
- 2 yards 1/2 inch ribbon
- scissors
- silk leaves and flowers
- 1 yard of 2 colored ribbons to match flowers
Instructions:
- Cut and glue 32 inches of your 3 inch lace, down the 2 front edges only of the 6 inch lace, folding the end of the 3 inch lace under at the bottom.
- Bring the plain end of the 6 inch lace up toward the back even with the other end.
- Make a 2 inch slit in the center and glue the ends open in a V.
- Wrap your wood ring with ribbon and glue the bottom of the ring to the bottom of the V.
- Glue your 3 inch lace around the top edge of the ring.
- Measure down 9 inches and glue a piece a ribbon across from one edge of your 6 inch lace to the other, securing the two layers together.
- Repeat 9 inches below that one.
- Decorate.

This is so very pretty. I made a single one for myself and my daughter. I used lace that had 2 sides of ruffling and a pretty blue ribbon running down the center. It really turned out pretty.
Thanks for the idea.
