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 ;)

And how cute does it look? It looks like it was MADE for their room! Well, OK, it was. What I'm saying is that it matches really well. :)

I love it! And so inexpensive too!! I pinned it Sarah, I'll let you know when I make mine! LOL
I have a major thing for doilies right now. In fact, I used them on a spring "bloom" banner on my mantel. I don't think the "bloom" phrase is coming down anytime soon because I just adore the doilies! Check it out here.
