Fill several containers with different colors and add a little bit of water to each. Place a dropper in each color, and invite the children to paint lace by squeezing drops on top of the lace. My boys picked the colors and it was their choice to pour them as you see them on the final piece of painted lace. Finally, find a little branch from your backyard or park. Using a glue gun, stick it to the upper part of the painted lace.
Hang it on a wall, door, or just about anywhere and I promise it will always get oohs and aahs! You can also do other variations, like adding acrylics and glitter glue at the end. Or try using yarn and a plastic needle to add some weaving into the lace as we did with our lace dreamcatchers. The possibilities are endless, but the most important thing is enjoying the process!

It's an application on a netting. Machine made nettings are used since in the production of lace. These first nettings were produced in the hope it could save time and that lacemakers could be able to finish a work faster. In the early 20th century the machine made netting that could be produced were from a different quality, more regular, bigger quantities. The production of Princess lace started at that time, but it was after World War II that this lace really became famous. It's the last handmade lace work that's still fine enough to be used for wedding veil and christening gowns.
