Lace Bell Ornaments

Nanees — Sat, 12 May 2012 12:00:33 +0000

Dainty and delightful, these beautiful lace bell ornaments will add classic appeal to any Christmas tree. And, if you attach them to gift baskets and bags, they’ll certainly delight!

Finished measurement:
Large: 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches
Small: 3 x 4-1/2 inches

Supplies:
** Fabric glue
** Ribbon (1/8-inch wide)
** Water-soluble stabilizer
** Paper towels
** Jingle bells (optional)

Designs used:
Chickadee Lace Bell – Lg

Hoop one piece of heavy weight water-soluble stabilizer (WSS).

NOTE: We used Sulky Ultra Solvy. Kenny tested different brands of WSS to see which works best with freestanding lace. To see how different brands hold up when used in sewing freestanding lace, click here.

Because both sides of freestanding lace can be seen, the bobbin thread should match the top thread. Wind a bobbin with the same thread that you’ll be using in the needle.

The designs are digitized for 40 weight thread, either rayon or polyester. Or, try 50 weight cotton for a hearty look.

Embroider the design. Six designs make one bell.

Use a size 11 sharp needle when embroidering free-standing lace; using a ballpoint or universal needle can cause ripping and tearing of the stabilizer.

After each design has finished, unhoop the WSS and cut away the excess. Trim as close to the embroidery as possible without cutting any of the stitches.

Set the scraps of WSS
aside; they are useful. You can piece the larger pieces together by wetting your fingers and running them along the edges; or, put small scraps in a spray bottle and add water to make spray starch.

Soak the six pieces according to WSS instructions. For Sulky Ultra Solvy, soak in hot tap water for 15 minutes.

Blot any excess water from the lace with a paper towel, and then allow the designs to dry completely.

Press the lace with an iron.

To assemble the bell, apply fabric glue to one side of the first piece of lace.

Add a second section of lace by aligning the sides and holding the two pieces in place until the glue holds.

The pieces will meet at a slight angle.

Apply glue to the other side of the second piece of lace and add a third lace section.

Continue this process until all six lace pieces are added, and the circle of pieces is closed.

Now give the bell shape.

In a spray bottle, dissolve a few scraps of WSS in water. Spray the top half of the bell.

Set the bell on a spray can or an overturned glass. Allow the bottom to flair.

This will give the lace a nice rounded bell shape.

Allow the bell to dry.

When the bell is dry, use ribbon to tie a loop to the top.

If you’d like, add a jingle bell or bead inside the ornament.

Now you are all set to add a little extra jingle to your holidays with bell ornaments of lace.

Freestanding Lace Tree Skirt

Nanees — Sun, 06 May 2012 12:11:35 +0000

It’s just heavenly!

Beautiful sections of freestanding lace make this tree skirt a real standout!

Make it in a mix of cheerful holiday colors or the single color of your choice.

Supplies needed:

Heavy-weight, water- soluble stabilizer (WSS)

Embroidery Designs from Embroidery Library (we used the large size):

Poinsettia Tree Skirt
Holly Tree Skirt
Bell Tree Skirt

Instructions:

Embroider 14 individual section pieces in the color and design combination of your choice. Use the same embroidery thread in the bobbin as you do in the top thread. This way, the lace will be reversible.

Trim the excess WSS away from the edges of each piece.

Do not soak yet. The pieces are easier to handle and sew together with the stabilizer still in them.

Along the long sides of each embroidered section, there are stitching edges. Join the pieces together by overlapping the stitching edges, and sew the pieces together. I used a straight stitch, but a zigzag stitch would also work well.

Continue joining pieces together until you have almost completed the circle. Leave the last edge open so you can place the skirt around the bottom of a small tree.

When you have completed the circle of sections. Soak the entire piece in water to remove the remaining stabilizer. Blot it on a white towel, and allow to dry flat.

Wrap the skirt around the base of your tree, and admire your handiwork. The lace really shows up well over this white tablecloth. You may want to take into account the color of your table, or space where the skirt will be when you decide what color or colors you want to make your skirt.
