I acquired several yards of a vintage 1900 lace , and at first I thought it would be too brittle to bead (I would need to reinforce it with ribbon or wire.) The lace is a lose open weave with a metalic thread. I tried several slide-on beads with large hole openings and the lace held up bead after bead. The pendant is made up of several vintage buttons....the beads are "modern vintage inspired" beads. Fun, fast project on vintage lace that was surprisingly strong.
