What to do with Lace – Victorian cuffs

Comments Off on What to do with Lace – Victorian cuffs blog, old lace

I love lace, as you may know, and I buy lots of vintage scrap lace and doilies.  But then I’m stuck as to what to do with them all…. 

I made these easy lace cuffs out of an oval shaped doily and a scrap of crocheted trim.

I ran lace through the openings in the crochet, so I didn’t have to damage the piece.  On this one I added a vintage mourning brooch as an accent.

Cute, right?  What are your ideas for trim and laces?  I would love to hear them!  Also, check out my lace inspiration file on Pinterest!
