I am pretty sure my classmates think I am odd each time I suggest incorporating a doily into a school project. Truth is I have a whole stack of crocheted ones and I would like to do something nice with them.
When Belinda posted her project doily series, I was happy there was someone else thinking of things to do with doilies. I have a stack of paper ones too that are crying out for a project. I'm tempted to try her stars come Christmas.
In the meantime, this table runner is looking like a contender for my crocheted ones.

Pretty! I think I need to get some doilies, they would be great for food photography!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely would leaf. Especially on wood like in these photos.
ReplyDeletethis is on my to do list someday, its gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Doilies (especially antique ones) are so fantastic, and this is a wonderful way to use them in a modern way. Hmmmm, I might have to start picking some up when I'm at flea markets and try this project!
ReplyDeletesame idea...cept mine is a scarf!
ReplyDeletelove doilies...cant leave them in a thrift shop!
oh honey, it's not the doily's that make you odd. HA!
ReplyDeleteI kid I kid but in regards to your doily obsession (I'll be honest! I'm partial too) I'd go ALL OUT and have them cast into a resin and acrylic screen. oh yes, I went there.
Like this, but with your masses of doily's:

What a brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletewhat a funky idea!
ReplyDeletemakes me laugh to think doilies were once only something daggy my oma had sitting on her coffee table or the back of her couch.

how did you attach the doilies to each other?? I love this project, and have a box full of doilies to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks for some instructions.
I just found your blog and I'm loving it! Thought I would support your doily habit with another paper idea: http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/2009/11/21/diy-doily-canvas-bag/ It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the doily project but I love your table!!! Was it a purchase? a DIY?
ReplyDeleteI just love this idea and my Mum just gave me a bunch of hers and her Mother's doilies and I had no idea what to do with them. Now I know exactly what to do with them, thank you!
