Follow these steps

Styling Tips:
1. This antique-facade top looks great with denim.
2. Style with an over-sized flower or boho accessories.

1

Gather your materials.
2

Lay scalloped trim (14840) on your work surface.
3

Cut approx 12" of the trim, followed by 16 individual segments (scallops).
4

Set these pieces aside.
5

Using your tacky glue, affix 12" trim to neckline. Due to the nature of the trim, it should mold to the v-neck shape without a problem. Place paper inside the garment to prevent glue leakage.
6

Affix 9 of the lace scallops below that trim, along the neckline as shown.
7

Lay scalloped trim (14841) on your work surface.
8

Cut 14" of trim and lay along neckline motif, below the trims you've just glued down. You'll notice it stands up when you shape it to the V-neck, and doesn't lay flat like the first trim did.
9

Clip the center of the trim.
10

Lay one clipped edge over the other so it lays flat. Leave 3" of trim on the left of the piece un-glued, and tack the rest down.
11

Position remaining 9 scallops below this trim to create desired motif (but don't glue it down yet).
12

Cut approx 20" of rhinestone trim.
13

Position rhinestone trim beneath lace trim (pull up a corner if you already glued everything down) and configure placement as shown. Glue into place.
14

Glue into place, and glue remaining scallop pieces down, covering the rhinestone chain edges.
15

Let your finished motif dry completely.
16

Try it on!

Tip: To add some extra romance, pin a large metallic-tinted flower to the top!
