What do delicate lace,
shiny, silk ribbon,
and an array of dried flowers add up to? Wispy, lacy, colorful Christmas decorations! Try your hand at these charming Victorian fan ornaments.
The process is surprisingly simple: a large lace piece is stiffened into a fan shape, delicate dried flowers are arranged in the lace, some eucalyptus is attached at the bottom, and the final touch is a colorful ribbon.
These fans are ideal for gracing holiday packages, brightening a tree or hung as ornamentation throughout the house. Why not decorate your entire tree with these exquisite lacy, fans in colors that match your decor? They are easy and inexpensive-a definite plus if you are just starting out in the world of “make your own”.
Other possibilities for Victorian decorations are limited only by your imagination. Create bouquets, wreaths and baskets. Or try a smaller version of fan made into a “corsage” to coordinate with your Christmas outfit.
