Nothing creates a romantic and sentimental feeling like lace. Add it to your valentines to really express yourself.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Use leftover scraps of lace, new lace you've purchased, or used lace you've removed from clothing that's no longer wearable.

  2. Step 2

    Remove all threads or bits of material left on your used lace.

  3. Step 3

    Cut off any ends that are frayed.

  4. Step 4

    Dye the lace different colors, such as pink or red.

  5. Step 5

    Spray the lace with starch and iron it to make it stiffer if you wish.

  6. Step 6

    Create your valentine out of card stock, construction paper or fabric in any size or shape you wish.

  7. Step 7

    Add lace as an edging around the outside of the valentine. Use craft glue to secure the lace to the card.

  8. Step 8

    Consider adding some lace to small fabric hearts and then gluing them to the card.

  9. Step 9

    Try weaving a thin ribbon through the lace and then attaching it to the card for added elegance.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use glue sparingly when attaching lace. Because the lace has so many holes, the glue tends to seep through. Paint glue on with a brush to avoid this problem.
