“D-I-Y DOILIES GARLAND”

…super simple to make. You must try for your next party!

We wanted to use colorful doilies (purple, orange, and pink) for the project, but we could only find the purple ones so we bought plain white doilies and hand-painted them instead.
I had some acrylic paint leftover from the Wedding Thumbprint Tree project so I just simply painted the doilies in pink and orange and let them dry.  Since the paint will seep through the laser cut area, place the doily on piece of paper or cloth so you won’t stain your work surface.

Be sure to let them dry completely before applying the second and third coat to prevent the paper from shriveling up since they are so thin.

Nora used the Cri-Cut to cut out the letters that spelled “LOVE IS SWEET” with 2 hearts as word separators.  We simply just glued the letters on the doilies, then glued the doilies to a pretty ribbon using a hot glue gun, and we were done.

It adds a touch of whimsy to the dessert table, and it can be customized to say anything really.  Totally heart!
