I’ll show projects for all skill levels, so you can pick whatever fits your time and stash. With just plastic lace and a couple of basic tools, you can whip up keychains, jewelry, home decor, and practical accessories.
I’ve made a lot of these myself, so I try to keep the directions clear and doable. As you move through colorful keychains, coiled coasters, woven plant hangers, and more, I’ll drop in step-by-step tips to help you finish projects that actually look good and last.
1. Colorful Plastic Lace Keychains
Bright keychains made from plastic lace add a pop of color and a bit of grip to keys.
They only take a few minutes to weave and need just a couple of strands and a split ring.
I like to mix up the patterns and colors—sometimes to match a bag, sometimes just for fun.

Sometimes I’ll add a keyring or a bead for a little extra style.

Colorful bookmarks are easy to make with plastic lace and a few basic stitches.
I’ll throw on some beads, tassels, or a vinyl accent for a nice finish.
They’re sturdy, easy to personalize, and honestly make great little gifts.

I coil plastic lace into tight spirals to make durable coasters.
They shrug off moisture and add a bright splash to any table.
I take care to finish the edges so cups sit flat and nothing scratches.

I make lightweight wall hangings out of plastic lace, kind of like a modern twist on vintage doilies.
I glue or stitch layers, toss on some beads or tassels, and hang them with a basic hoop to get instant texture and color.

Twisting plastic lace into sturdy cords makes great plant hangers for small pots.
The braid gives a bit of texture and a modern feel, and it’s so lightweight.
I like to hang these in windows or on balconies where they catch the light just right.

I make napkin rings from plastic lace when I want a quick table upgrade.
They’re spill-resistant and come in any color I need for a theme.
A little ribbon or a few beads can personalize each ring for special dinners.

Wrapping plastic lace around plain frames gives them a whole new look.
I glue or weave the lace along the edges for a neat, sturdy border.
Mixing patterns and colors lets me match any photo or room.

Mixing colors and adding beads in the center makes each bloom pop.
Small loops and tight stitches keep the petals tidy and strong.

Plastic lace works surprisingly well for curtain tiebacks.
They’re lightweight, washable, and still look delicate.
I stitch or glue the ends to a loop or button so hanging them is easy.
11. Geometric Plastic Lace Placemats
I cut plastic lace into bold triangles and hexagons for modern placemats.
Layering shapes adds contrast and keeps things heat-resistant.
Vinyl or PVC makes cleaning up a breeze and gives those sharp edges.

They’re lightweight, washable, and I can swap them out whenever I want.

Hot glue or fabric adhesive keeps the lace in place for light use.
I go with neutral lace for closets and colorful lace for toy bins or craft rooms.

The patterns hold up well and look tidy, whether I use bright or neutral cords.
A dab of glue or a bead at the end keeps everything secure and lasting.

I like to wrap clear jars with plastic lace for simple, safe candle holders.
The lace brings in a bit of texture and softens the light, and honestly, plastic holds up pretty well to heat and the occasional spill.
