Royal Lace® Doily Crafts
Let’s make something pretty today! With just a few sparkly things, you can create a bow for your hair and a shiny pin to wear. These will be part of your very own Purple Jewelry collection! We’ll use lace, ribbon, shiny paper, and little pearls. Don’t worry—an adult will help with the glue and scissors.
First, let’s make the barrette. Take the gold heart doily and fold it in half. Then fold it again, like a fan—up and down, up and down. Gently squeeze the middle and ask a grown-up to wrap a little wire around it to hold it tight.
Next, cut a small piece of purple twisty paper. Make little zig-zag cuts on the ends. Twist the middle to make a bow shape. Glue it right on top of the gold heart. Now take a long, skinny ribbon and tie it around the middle into a pretty bow.
Add some sparkle by stringing four small pearls on a wire and gluing them in the center. When everything is in place, ask an adult to glue the barrette clip on the back. Now your shiny gold and purple bow is ready to wear as Purple Jewelry!
Now let’s make the pin. Cut a fun shape out of thick paper and cover it with shiny purple foil. Cut a small piece from the gold lace doily and glue it on the top. Then take the gold rick rack ribbon and make little loops. Glue those around the edges.
To finish, glue one pearl in the center. Then glue the pin to the back. You just made another special piece of Purple Jewelry!
