Lace Doily Bunting

100_3710
I have been collecting lacy doilies that are imperfect for this project, I haven’t spent more than 25 cents on any of them, some are new, some are old.

This would make great decorations for a wedding…

I used extra wide double fold bias tape…I buy mine on a 100 yard roll here.  It is very nice quality and very cheap.

All I did was cute the doilies in half, the squares I cut diagonally. The ones with big stains, I cut so the stained part was discarded.

I love how it turned out…I was a bit worried about the white bias tape and the shades of off-white doilies.

I am thinking this would look great in my bedroom…
I am linking to these great parties…

    That is such a great banner idea. A great way to 'reuse' old/stale looking doilies in a totally usable today idea. Visiting from Motivate Me Monday at Keeping It Simple.

    What a sweet idea, Ellen! I love this idea! I made some buntings from vintage handkerchiefs this winter. There's just something so adorable about vintage textiles! :)

    What a wonderful idea!

    I've just "inherited" a bunch of grandma's doilies and I've been waiting for a great idea just like this that I can use!
    I'm going to use this, I think it would be great to use them to pretty up my craft fair booth!

    Thanks for the great post!

    Oh, it looks fabulous! I've been collecting doilies for the same reason. I think it would look lovely in Emerson's nursery. :)
