PAPERED IN LACE

With its delicate detailing and pretty scalloped edges, the doily adds a decorative touch to a range of simple crafts

-

THE HUMBLE PAPER doily is a decorative staple of the baker’s kitchen, but can also make a pretty addition to a range of craft projects. The intricate detailing can become an attractive stencil for painting on gift wrapping or the doily glued directly to the paper to make a striking gift tag, with a message or salutation written in the centre. A plain vase or bottle is covered in a similar way and secured with a colourful ribbon.

They can add decorative touches to wooden furniture painted in a contrastin­g colour or picture frames wrapped in paper.

If no doilies are to hand, a paper circle folded and cut into patterns works also.
