Upcycled Holidays

What to do with all those little bits and pieces of remnant doilies and edgings? Paint them with water-diluted Mod Podge in layers until the piece is stiff enough to hold its shape. Put a wire hook in the top and call it a snowflake ornament!

    Such a neat idea. A couple of my favorite (holiday~special occasion) barrettes are made from starched(?) shell shaped doilies with crocheted mini roses running the length of the clued & stitched on clip. They are treasured gifts that I’ve had for many years.

    Another great idea for all of those lovely old doilies that our grandmother’s made and are currently just stashed in a drawer! They would make great gifts to give anyone. You could hang them up in a window all winter long or adorn a tree with them. Thanks for sharing this simple idea!

    What a wonderful idea, so simple yet elegant and who does not like snowflake ornaments. Off I go to make a few as I have so many doilies and ones that could use a bit of TLC.
    Thank you again MJ for sharing a great idea.
