How To Make Adorable Mini Lace Crowns

Hello everyone.

Welcome to Chattering Robin's blog.

Michelle here with you today to share 

the first phase of my latest project,

featuring products from 

The Robin's Nest.

I am creating a lace crown mobile,

to hang in my craft room.

The following are my first 3 crown's

that I have completed.

For this project, I used a variety of Venice lace trims,

glimmer & ink sprays, acrylic interference paint, 

rhinestone trims & fabric stiffener,

last and not least of these, I used a variety 

of shapes & colors, of the 

Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

This is also a collaborative project,

featuring Best Glue Ever

and Embellie Gellie, and Transfer Foils

from ScraPerfect.

The first step, is to decide how large 

you want the crowns to be.

My measurement in length is 6.5 inches, 

the half inch being for the slight 

overlap to hold it together.

I then coated each trim, on both sides

with a fabric stiffener, and gave time

to cure on both sides as well. Mine

took an hour or so. This will vary 

with product preference.

While in the straightened & stiffens state,

I then spritzed with metallic and glimmer sprays.

Drying each with my heat gun, to start

shaping the lace into rounded shapes.

Next, I used ScraPerfect transfer foils, 

very randomly burnishing them over 

the surface of the lace, 

to add a hint of shimmer.

Once done, I used Best Glue Ever, to 

add the embellishments to each crown,

including the RN Diamond Dew Drops & Original Dew Drops

as the "jewels" on each crown.

I also used the BGE to hold the rounded crown shape.

Totally loving the way the first crowns have turned out.

What a fun project this is going to be

to complete.

Thank you for stopping by today!
