Antique Style Lace Earrings

Another tatted earrings I finished using a pattern I bought. This pattern was difficult and frustrating for me because I kept messing up! Literally, I restarted the pattern 10 times. I almost went crazy.



After all, the earrings turned out beautifully. and I'm very pleased with them. The pale pink and the bronze findings go perfectly with the antique theme. I ironed and stiffened the lace for more stability. I love how these earrings are light weight! These are available for sale in my shop!

  1. Your earrings came out very nice. I like the pattern but it does look very complicated. I just started doing some needle tatting but I've only done a couple of simple patterns and I started them over many times. You have good reason to be proud of your work.

    1. Thanks Mary! Needle tatting huh? That sounds very difficult. You should give shuttle tatting a try!
