Ombre fabric painted lace flower

When making quick and easy-to-sew flowers lace is the way to go. However, I am often aggravated by the limited colors that you can get lace in…usually only white, cream or black…BORING! So when I saw Simply Spray fabric paint I was super excited. Simply Spray is exactly like it sounds, spray paint for fabric. It is quick and easy compared to mixing up dye in pots. Plus, you can use exactly what you need unlike mixing vats of fabric dye. I decided to try use the fabric paint to make an ombre piece of lace for a fabric flower pin. Supplies: 40" of 1.5" wide lace in white or cream Simply Spray fabric paint for upholstery Rubber gloves Drop cloth or old towel Millinery needle Thread Glass beads Pin Gator clip Felt X-acto or utility knife Scissors Water Marking Chalk Hot Glue Outside or in a well ventilated area spread out your drop cloth. Wearing your gloves, take the lace and saturate it with water. Lay the lace on the drop cloth in a straight line. U
