Lace Crown Tutorial

The Girl Inspired
I originally stumbled upon these adorable lace crowns on Pinterest. I followed to the link to thegirlinspired.com and found her tutorial to be very helpful! The only thing is, I like to use what I have on hand. I had lace, spray paint and glitter, but not the fabric stiffener she used. I did however, have an old bottle of Mod Podge. I am also not very patient when it comes to craft projects, and I didn’t like that   the lace took overnight to dry between steps. I improvised! Here’s what I did:
What you need

 

  • Wide strips of lace cut to size (I did some to fit my daughter’s head and some to fit her dolls)
  • Mod Podge or Elmer’s Glue
  • Foam brush
  • Spray paint in desired colors
  • Spray glitter or regular glitter
  • Glue gun
I laid out each piece of lace and covered both sides in a healthy dose of the Mod Podge. I then transferred them directly to a cookie sheet to dry, being careful to lay them out smooth and flat.

 

The thing I didn’t like about the original tutorial was having to wait for them to dry overnight. Since I had just had the oven on anyway, I thought I’d give that a shot! I kept the oven at about 200 degrees and let them harden in there for a couple hours. It worked great! They were stiff, yet bendable in no time. Just watch out, the fumes can be pretty stinky!

 

As you can see, I used a couple different kinds of lace. The ruffled stuff did not turn out as well. Hot glue the ends together and spray paint or spray with glitter.

    Would it work to mod podge and let it dry overnight instead of baking it?
