Things to do with doilies

There is something so beautiful about doilies, I love their lacyness, the creamy hue that comes with age, their delicateness and perhaps more importantly their versatility.  I love using doilies is art and c raft projects.

Here are some of the ways I have used doilies in art and crafts in the past:

                                          

In textile projects, this was an art piece I did a few years ago.

Using fabric hardener to stiffen the doily into 3D forms such as a bowl.

Paper doilies in collages.

This wall hanging covers a shelf unit containing lots of junk that we want to keep hidden.

On canvas paintings layered with acrylic paint.

Here are some other brilliant craft ideas using doilies from some of my favourite blogs:
