Sooooooo many people complain about using the blue hardware store tape but they forget it's for paint. I wouldn't use it directly for my patterns or anything like that but the way you used it to fill in spots and hold down the paper is perfect. Cost saving and effective!
There is no way the lace patterns matched up just by throwing a small, reused, wet, scrap piece of lace around. The middle stripe lace was sprayed in two sections.. That is guaranteed to looked messed up. Don't be cheap. Buy enough lace to cover everything for one spray.
