30 second bobbin lace start without fancy bobbins. 🧵 Using household objects to get started!

Me: oh I don't have any equipment this video: me again: 👁👄👁

[@GaliciaBee]

😁 You can do it!!

I'm lucky my grandma was willing to give me EVERYTHING she had for free. However, when she started out she had bought just a cheap lace pillow. You could use a piece styrafoam with a pillowcase around it for a pillow though 👍

I started yesterday with clothes pins and it works great. I took an old foam pillow and a piece of cardboard box over the top then hot glued a piece of flannel fabric over it

[@maivaiva1412]

I'm so blessed to have gotten my grandma's old pillow and bobbins!! I love my grandma❤

[@ivannabeprivatetoo5287]

I use colored gel pens, that way I can color code the pairs to keep track of them better! It works really well for me as a beginner

[@GaliciaBee]

Awesome!

[@katthefantastic]

Old pegs (the wooden, two-prong kind) are great for this!

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@angelakimbrell1214]

Thank you for this video that was a concern of mine it is an investment to buy bobbins and I’m not sure I can make lace that is neat looking.

[@GaliciaBee]

I'm so glad you found it helpful! Bobbin lace *can* be an expensive hobby, but it doesn't *have to* be!! Someone sent me a picture last week showing how they used popsicle sticks for bobbins! Smart! 😁

[@goldensoul7461]

When y’all see the specialized tools for these hobbies, remember, the hobby existed before the tool did. At some point in history, all of these skills are using “makeshift” solutions and learning techniques

[@mialemon6186]

I split my clothespins in two halves (so each pin is a pair), and invested in $1 of sandpaper to make them smooth and not catch the thread. They’re “spangled” by painting the tips with sharpie pens in different colors/symbols. I needed to avoid starting another expensive hobby so instead I’m about $10 invested total (thread, sand paper, and longer pins than the ones I use for dressmaking). Love that there’s a will and a way to start with basically anything!

[@GaliciaBee]

Yes!! 🙌 Fantastic! It CAN be an expensive hobby, but it doesn’t HAVE TO be!

[@rahulprakash9716]

Lots of love from India 🇮🇳😍😍

[@beans1325]

Lead pencils work really well for bobbins y'all!

[@GaliciaBee]

Thanks for subbing! You are going to love making lace! 🫶🏻

[@Namri]

Thank you!!! Purchasing a thread kit!

[@marlan5470]

I was disappointed when I visited Belgium and there was only one shop with bobbin lace in a touristy area. I expected the craft to be more widespread there.

[@KyrieFortune]

ferb, i know what we are doing today

[@katthefantastic]

Wow! Thank you. I was just about to look up bobbins, but I'm on a craft budget. You rock😁👍🫶

[@GaliciaBee]

Glad I could help! 😄

[@cheryldodd-marko9787]

I would think it would take many may years of training to acquire such skills🕊🇺🇲💕

[@livewellwitheds6885]

I bet somebody could 3d print bobbins easily and cheaply !

[@GaliciaBee]

Yes! I’ve seen some. Pretty cool!

[@Juneessary]

I even had the needles to keep the knots in place but I ended up throwing them cause I never used them 😭

[@valerieford5742]

I like the shape of your bobbins them selves they look like they’re bigger an easier to hold in those skinny ones where did you purchase them at? Thank you.

[@GaliciaBee]

They’re Galician lace bobbins, from where I live in Spain. 😊 They’re available in my Etsy shop: galiciabee.etsy.com/listing/1536834753/50-galician-bobbins-boxwood-lace-making

[@motionless_horizon]

I’m using paper straws!

[@Loles.M]

Estaria bien en español

[@zeynepsiir]

Is that a special type of thread? Do people use embroidery floss or just regular cotton thread?

[@GaliciaBee]

You can use anything you like! 🤗

[@zeynepsiir]

@@GaliciaBee Good to know, thanks for the info!

[@GaliciaBee]

@@zeynepsiir No problem! The thread in this video is cotton thread! It's sold in the shop for crochet, I believe. :) I love embroidery floss too for some projects because it comes in so many colors! Have fun & be creative! 😄❤
