Lacy Tank Top

**I apologize in advance for the terrible picture quality. I was on vacation when I created this tutorial, and my camera was having serious problems.**

Materials:
1 tank top (mine was $5 at Walmart)
1 pkg large GLASS pearls
1 pkg small GLASS pearls
lace embellishment
Thread, hand sewing needle, sewing machine
3" X 3" piece of tulle



1. Pin your lace where you want it



2. Using a sewing machine, sew carefully around the lace to hold it in place.



3. Fold your piece of tulle, but not squarely. Does that make sense?



4. Hand sew your folded tulle onto the tank top. *Ignore my pearls everywhere. I got ahead of myself*



5. Lay out your pearls in the pattern you decide and hand sew them to the tank.



6. Enjoy your new tank top!

Super cute! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets ahead of myself sometimes :)

LOVE this!! Where did you find the lace for it?

I found it in my mom's stash of old lace and things. :) I've looked around at Joann's and other places and haven't found anything exactly like it, but there are things that are similar. If you take several smaller lace pieces and "put them together", then you might be able to create something similar. I've also thought that maybe you could purchase a swatch of lace fabric and cut out a shape that fits around the neck. Hope this helps! If I can help you at all, let me know! :)
