Lace Flower Creations

Let creativity bloom with these quick and beautiful projects -- inspired by a single freestanding lace Wildflower design. Mix and match elements, repeat and overlap to create timeless floral pieces. From embellishing summer hats, to creating your own boutonnieres, wreaths, corsages, and bouquets -- the possibilities are endless!

First things first: you'll need to download the Wildflower (Lace) design for your embroidery machine. This tutorial will walk you through how to put together an embellished hat, a floral fascinator, a corsage, a boutonniere, and a bouquet using a variety of materials.

Here's more on stitching freestanding lace, if you need a refresher.

Supplies


Let's begin with your embellished summer hat! For this project, you will need:

  • At least two lace Wildflowers stitched, rinsed, and dried. I used both the larger size of the Wildflower and smaller size.
  • A straw or floppy beach hat
  • Ribbon for a sash (optional)
  • Fabri-Tac glue OR hot glue gun (optional)

Products Used


  • Wildflower (Lace) (Sku: EMP17173-1)

Steps To Complete

You may have noticed your larger flower piece (the "A" file) already has some dimension and curve to it from the stitches hugging in together at the connected petals.

You can achieve a similar dimensional curve to the smaller flower piece (the "B" file) by adhering each petal piece to the next with glue.

This is what the difference is, between leaving the flower petals flat and gluing them together. The flower on the right has more dimension and "stands up" a little more than the flat flower on the left.

Either way you prefer to do it, they are still gorgeous pieces!

Start by gluing your flower pieces together. This is a slower process if you are using Fabri-Tac, as you will need to let each section dry independently before moving onto the next -- but it's well worth the wait!

Next, flip over your flower and attach the leaf piece(s) to your flower, testing placement before setting your glue.

Finish by slightly overlapping your floral pieces onto the sash of your hat, or even directly on the hat itself. Use a couple as accents, or line the whole brim -- it's up to you! 

Our next project is a beautiful floral fascinator! Perfect for casual and dressy occasions, this dynamic lace beauty is simple to make and oh-so-elegant to wear.

To craft this beautiful hair clip, you will need:

  • At least one lace Wildflower stitched, rinsed, and dried. I used the larger size of the Wildflower, just the "A" file and several "C" files stitched out.
  • Hot glue gun
  • Plastic hair comb, clip, or pin.
  • Button or bead to affix to the middle of your flower (optional).

I thought this pearl button would be a cute addition to my fascinator, so I started by gluing it down in the center of my flower.

The next step is to glue the leaf pieces onto your comb, by dabbing a small amount of glue at the end of the leaf.

Arrange your leaves in a random order and glue them down, but make sure not to cover the comb too much.

Your final step will to be to adhere the center of your flower to the comb using your hot glue.

And there you have it! A fabulous and unique hair accessory, perfect for any occasion.
