Do you have inherited vintage doilies that you would love to preserve and find a use for? Today I am sharing a super quick tutorial with you for vintage doilies Christmas decorations. Vintage doilies are beautiful, for me, they evoke hours of crafting. It’s a real shame when they frequently sit in a drawer rather than finding a way to incorporate them into everyday life.
These beautiful doilies were passed onto me by my mother when she recently downsized – I would love to find a variety of ways to use them around my modern-day home. Post Christmas I will have to another think and come up with some other ideas – what’s great about this project is you can undo and reuse the doilies!
A super quick and easy Christmas decoration making the most of family heirloom vintage doilies The vintage doilies Christmas decoration is super quick and easy to make, using a needle thread either garden twine or a thread that blends in around the doily. You may find it helpful to use a bit of tape to hold the central point of the doilie at the base of the large bauble. Gather the thread together and tie a knot (if you are going for an invisible look) or a bow.Vintage Doilies Christmas Decorations

I would love to have some large red baubles to give a stronger contrast, alternatively, if you don’t mind using your doilies as a resist you could spray paint the baubles, then remove the doily to see what effect you have created. Personally I like the doilies too much to try this!
