A great idea for using your vintage doilies

This tutorial appeared on the blog written by Rachel at Smile and Wave.  It is the perfect way to use and display doilies in a new and fresh way – and it’s simple!  The results are just lovely and will fit in so many different types of home decor – see the result for yourself:

Some of her really cool suggestions include using different colors, to get a variegated effect, or to try with colored doilies (and we’ve been itching to try our hand at dying linens since it’s such a huge thing in Europe right now).  She also recommends making sure the background fabric is a little bit different so the design shows up, but not too different, so it doesn’t steal the show.

I’m now going to go dig through doily boxes and make one too!
