| BOBBIN LACE EARRINGS Designed by Tina Armstead Download the complete pattern in PDF format HERE One at a time take a 3 strand length fold in half and hang on a starting pin. Using a beading needle string on 10 beads to each end and wind on a bobbin to each end. Repeat for remaining starting pins. Slide one bead up to the starting pin. Remove starting pin and replace pin in same hole with the pin going through the bead. Repeat this for all starting pins. This keeps the bead in place so when the finished lace is removed the beads are on the outside edge. Work lace in half stitch and half stitch the honey comb center. When done working the lace tie off with a simple knot at each pin using the bobbin pair at the pin. Slide remaining beads up to the pin that has been tied off. Using an overhand knot tie each pair off at the end of the beads. Remove lace from pillow and trim off excess thread. I like to use fray check on my knots when making lace jewelry. It dries clear and is water proof. |
