I bought a few a couple years back from a fund raiser for an animal rescue place...really beautiful hand made doilies for just $1 each. Being a crocheter, I can really appreciate the work that goes into them. But, people just don't put them around their house much anymore. So, what to do to bring 'em out of the attic and into the 21st century? Here are some fun ideas!
Check out this gorgeous doily lamp!
This cute baby mobile uses paper doilies, although you could put some fabric stiffener in real doilies and make a better lasting one.
Another idea for paper doilies, unless you want to dye your real ones...but a fun idea for the fall season!
These luminaries are really pretty, and you can re-use some mason jars at the same time!
I always find these embroidery hoops at thrift stores...here's a great idea to pair them with doilies for some pretty wall art!
I think this table runner is a great way to showcase special doilies that may have been passed down or hand made from your grandparents or great grandparents!

Those are all really great ways to use doilies! I like the hanging ball/ornaments.
Isn't that awesome? It's actually a lamp! I'd love to try making one. I suppose you'd need a low-temperature bulb though so you don't catch the doilies on fire! ;-)
