Take a simple doily add ribbon and now it says WOW ! Like most of my crafting examples all you need are some simple items and your imagination.
This is a great idea when you can't find doilies the color needed - and you would like to carry your color theme through out the party - whether it is a wedding, baby shower or some other special event!
You can use these embellished doilies as center pieces and envelopes......
- In this example I used a 12" paper lace doily and 1/8 wide ribbon.
- It is easier to use very narrow ribbon - you might want to test some from before you buy lots of ribbon for your project.
- I started going around the edge - pick a fairly open lace for your first projects.
- I don't cut the ribbon off of the roll until I'm finished...
Only things you will need to watch are not ripping the doily (if it is just a small tear - just use clear tape on back) and the ribbon "rolling or twisting" keep the ribbon flat for a neat look.
When you are finished - cut the ribbon - leave a enough to tie a bow if that is what you desire
Here is an example of a "double row of ribbon"
Here is an example of an embellished doily being folded as an envelope insert....
What a treat to mail your wedding or baby photos this way !
Fold ....
Fold....
One small piece of double sided tape...

And you have a beautiful insert !
Have fun! and don't stress - crafts are fun!
