Doily Bunting

When I came across these doilies in the $1.50 bins at Michael's Craft Store, 

I picked up a few to use decoratively around the house.

But then Spring hit, and Michaels started getting brighter, funner colors in.

I knew I had to work these into my girls' bedroom somehow.

So I decided to pick 4 up in co-ordinating colors to their bedroom, and make a 

Doily Bunting.

Besides the doilies, all you'll need is some double fold bias tape. 

I got a 3 yard package and used it all.

After cutting the doilies in half, I placed them in the fold of the bias tape (you could pin at this point, but I went fast and just tucked them in as I sewed along). 

Make sure you leave a 8" tail on either end for hanging.

With 4 doilies, making 8 halves, it filled the bunting's length up perfectly.

You could, of course, make yours smaller.

The Result:

This entire project cost around $8 and took about 15 mins from beginning to end.

Now THAT is a winner in my books ;)
