How To Glue Lace to Clothing

Give simple clothing a whole new look with a touch of lace! Gluing lace to fabric is so easy with a little help from Aleene's Quick Dry Fabric Fusion. That's right, no sewing needed! We embellished a tank top with lace, but this technique can apply to jeans, jackets, shoes and other fabric items as well.

How To Glue Lace to Clothing

Cut a strip of lace trim long enough to fit around neckline (or section of whatever item you are gluing the lace to).

How To Glue Lace to Clothing

Add a thin line of glue to fabric where you will be gluing lace and start pressing lace strip in place. Tip: less is more! Too much glue can oversaturate the fabric and cause it not to adhere to the lace.
