I have heard of ladies making their children's first communion or baptism clothes. Also, their daughter's garter belts for their weddings.

I saw someone at an art show cover theirs with tons of different spices in tea bags looked really cool and doesn't seem to tough to do.

I was just looking into the same thing for my veil! The most exciting idea I found was making jewelry out of it. Like pendant earrings and necklaces that have lace overlay. You could pass it down as family heirlooms. Good luck!

I'd try to donate them for brides who can't afford one, like Fairy Tale Brides or the Salvation Army...I once turned one into a Christening gown for my sister's baby (it was her gown so it stayed in the family). You can also make doll clothes out of it (a mini wedding dress?)

How about a table runner or doilies? You can also use the lace for pillow shams, curtains or valance or as trim for clothing items. You could add lace to camisole shirts at the neck, around the tops of socks that poke out of boots or trim on shorts. Lace on shorts is all of the rage right now!

Dana Baier · Answer

You can always donate your wedding dress to any Angel Gown group in your area. These groups take the dresses & create Angels Gowns for babies who do not come home from the hospital. The gowns are donated to hospitals free of charge!
