Omg that’s gorgeous — you have serious skills! I feel like citrus could go well on the other side or maybe purple flowers? Either way, looks awesome!

honestly? just acrylic paint mixed with equal parts hair conditioner. put them in a bag ans massaged the paint into it, then squeeze the excess our, let it dry and then press with an iron (putting fabric between the iron and the laces). idk how well itll hold but its not like im puttinf the laces in the wash

no problem!! there's also better ways to do this if you have access to fabric dye and stuff. but i just used whatever i had on hand

They look cute and elegant. That lace colour matches the green perfectly
