Lace Napkin Ring with Butterfly Beads

This Free Standing Lace Napkin Ring is a blank from Sonia Showalter at the Stitchery Mall. I added a couple of her FSL Butterfly Beads to accent this. I have another project that I started, but this one came to mind - before I finished. Hehehe! You do use ribbon for the closure.

Great idea to dress up the blank napkin ring. Either way plain or with the butterflies the design stitched out really nice for you.

Great idea. I love 3d fsl -makes everything pop.
These are very dainty looking. I have several projects going all the time LOL
I get bored doing same thing over and over so helps
to change up. My favorite part is experimenting with
ideas and designs not the actual execution.

These are beautiful. What brand of metallic thread did you use? It looks like it stitched out great for your design. H&*

Sally, thank you and for noticing that I did use metallic thread it part of the stitch out - on the outside and the butterflies. I use The Embroidery Shops metallic thread. *4U

When I looked at Stitcher Mall all I see is a napkin ring that is to be stitched on fabric.
Looks just the same as yours.
Is that the one you used (bottom of the page 1 of Sonia's designs)?
What fabric did you stitch it on.
Looks real nice.

I didn't stitch it on fabric - I stitched the middle section twice - it is the same one as at the bottom of the page 1 of Sonia's design - as I said in a posting here. I did leave a lot of the stabilizer in it, too.
by eastwitch2 10 Sep 2011
Well that's a good trick or tip.
Shirlene
What a good tip or trick!
Glad it worked for you! LOL
I imagine it could be stitched on organza or perhaps Angelina fibers maybe even Angelina Film and not stitch it out twice in the middle.

Yes, that would more than likely work better in the long run.

Another great project you have created!! As always love your 'love of lace'. The sweet little butterflies are such a super idea!! The other picture you shared in this post is completed beautifully!
I see another bracelet with these since ribbon is used for the closure.
