For the bottom fold - Hold a template (I used a business card)

Fold up the bottom edge.

Open the fold that was just made.

 

Fold in each "side"  toward the center

 

Fold the top edge towards the center

Place second doily on top of first taped doilies

Add foil stickers if desired

Cut the red ribbon about 8 inches above the top doily - so you have "room" to tie to lantern.

PAPER DOILY PARTY BANNER SWAG SIGN

 Make an easy paper doily banner!

The banner I've made for this example uses graduated sizes to create a "swag" effect, but you can use all one size or alternate sizes.  This is a very easy project to customize

You will need to make this 87" inch banner:

• 10 feet of ribbon or string
• 1 14" inch round paper doily
• 2 12" inch round paper doilies
• 2 10" inch round paper doilies
• 2 8" inch round paper doilies
• 2 6" round paper doilies
• double sided tape (of course)
• Scissors
• Wide ribbon or balloons for accents

Take each doily and fold perfectly in half

I try to match the "pattern" from each side to ensure I've gotten them folded nicely in half.

All folded and ready to taped "over the ribbon".

I unrolled about 10 feet of ribbon from the spool and started working in the center.

Unfold the Largest doily you will be using for the center.
Place several pieces of double sided top along one side of the fold inside the doily.
Lay the ribbon along the fold, and refold the doily.




I keep working "each side" with successively smaller doilies to create the "swag" effect.

Make sure you leave enough ribbon or string so you can secure your banner when complete

Completed Banner - ready for customization! Add a message or whatever.

I finished this banner with a wire edge bow at each end,
You can add balloons, flowers, etc!

Have fun with this one!

The Centerpiece:

Wraps

• 1/2 of a 10" round doily per cupcake

For the center piece
use one small round doily (this is a 4" heart shape)
Place a 1.5" inch section of double sided tape in center
Press the bamboo skewer - point side down - onto the tape

For the second heart - if you would like to use to identify table numbers - you can hand write or use stickers to make the table number -
Place a second piece of double sided tape on back of second doily
Line up with first doily already taped to the skewer - and press together.
Embellish with ribbon / glitter /etc!
Stick pointed side into dirt - and voila!

For another look you can place the plant/flower in a brown or white bag and tie with ribbon -

For the Cupcakes Place Cards Name Pics:

Use one small doily and write each guests name

Pictured are 3.5 round doilies

Take a small piece of double sided tape and apply to the back of a lollipop.

Attach doily

Chocolate pops can be used too! If you don't want the pop visible - then tape a second doily on the back.

Cupcake Wraps
I found this is the easiest way to do this.....
For standard size cupcakes.
Use one 10" doily - fold in half.

 Cut the "lace edge" off in a semi-circle.

Cut the "border" in half on fold.

ICE CUPCAKE FIRST BEFORE ADDING CUFF.
Place a piece of double sided tape on edge of cut doily

Wrap doily around the cupcake - overlap with the double sided tape.
Trim to fit

BABY SHOWER
Cotton Candy

Proceed as in the Name Pics - however
I added a "fluff" of cotton candy to the top of each cupcake prior to adding the pics
Blue and Pink!
 

Instead of using names - boy or girl looks cute!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - ADD COTTON CANDY RIGHT BEFORE SERVING -
HUMIDITY OR HEAT CAN CAUSE TO DEFLATE

ENJOY!
