I made this doiliy snowflake bunting a while back but only remembered this week when I packed it up to post to the UK.
Idea sprung from some blog, somewhere, sometime.
I don't seem to have a photo of it completely complete but it was finished by handstitching the edges of each doiliy to the next.
Spray starch remedied the droop factor
Spray starch only seens to work on the cotton/linen doilies so the woolier ones were discarded.
Of course I'm digging these out of the archive cause creativity, of the crazy kind, continues only on the doll house; here if you want to have a look
What you working on?

This is magnificent! I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteFab! I take it you're crocheting a mini version for la petite maison?
ReplyDeleteAlso I am rather lusting after your drawers. *Sid James cackle*.
Beautiful - love doilies. And thanks for the tip about the starch.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I cut up my husbands poor dead nanna's doilies and created bunting. My mother in law was a little unimpressed! But since she was going to throw them out to the op shop I couldnt understand her crossness!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea! Doilies make the perfect snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteI love that, I am creating one myself, still in the process of collecting all the doilies, then I am going to dye them, starch them and photograph it and post the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! I never would have thought of spray starch (or doilies either, to be honest) but as a confirmed bunting addict it's fab to have found a new medium to make it with. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh Max I'm quite hooked on your doll house updates! Your doily bunting would make a lovely winter decoration. Oh well who am I kidding I would have one in my house all year long,
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be such a perfect gift for a winter Christmas!! I've never used spray starch before it sounds like fun!
