What to do with metal bobbin lace?

[kimikosews]

So, I've gotten about 25" or so, and debating if I want to do a whole yard or more of it, or just end it soonish

Could you use the lace around a coif? As to washing, you could hand wash it.

[kimikosews]

That's a good idea. I'll see how much lace I'd need. Thanks.

Hat band?

[kimikosews]

I think I'd want a wider lace to do for a hat band, but I'll put that on the to-do list as I'll be making a new hat that will need a band. Thank you.

I was thinking more the edge of a hat band. Dunno if I'd make one entirely of lace.

[kimikosews]

That would make it a lot easier to do, like on a nice real satin ribbon, or something.

A nice set of later period starched cuffs?

I'll have to make the lace from something that won't melt, so I'll need to test the threads first. I think the dmc stuff is polyester and will melt. It will also need lots of lace to make up, but this is a good idea. Thank you.

Ummm... how about a small table cover? Like a small square bit of pretty cloth you would use to cover up stained wood and set a pretty knickknack on?

I like this idea, thank you. Of course my mind wanders to what I could embroider to make as that table cover first...
