Use as a stencil when you are painting a table, chair etc.
Sachets would be lovely.
You can make pillow covers for your couch or bed. I would take a cotton material in a color of your choice like red or blue or both and make a cover for the pillow, then I would make another cover with the lace. The color coming through the lace would like nice. So, you would have a lace pillow with a red color showing through or a blue or whatever color you want to make it.
See if anything in these links tickle your fancy.
