The August Break 26 (fun with a doily)

posted by Lisa on 08/26/2011

I’ve wanted to make one of these for a while. I didn’t have any starch or fabric stiffener on hand, so I used a bottle of Elmer’s. It worked pretty nicely.

Those are the general steps I took. A few hours after #4, I applied some more glue. I suppose one could pour the glue in a bowl and dip the doily in it beforehand to completely saturate it without re-applying later.

Oooh – so cute!! I’ve been dying to try this, but starching always sounded like a big process. :) It’s so cute!

This looks fantastic! Is this a fabric or paper doily?
