Doily addict

Along with vintage buttons and sheets,  I have amassed quite a sizeable collection of doilies through thrifting and swaps (thank you Imene!).  They’re prized possessions and only a few of them have actually ever been used.

Until now.

Claudia recently posted about this simple but perfect tutorial  which, when I read, made me drop everything I was doing and run for my doilies immediately. It was one of those mad multi tasking moments which involved a glue gun, surfing in the net, cooking dinner and helping children with homework all at the same time... it was just like a primal urge and I couldn’t stop myself from making them right there and then.

  

I can't tell you how pretty these looked last night on my mantlepiece.

If doilies were a drug then this little project was a perfect quick fix to feed my habit.

They are really beautiful and very effective - I've seen doilies in a completely different light.

Now where's the glue gun?!
