When my buddies Nester and Reeve announced that they were going to host a crafting day once a month, I was beyond excited. I sent in my RSVP the second I read the email. YESSSS I would be there! I am actually a little embarrassed to tell you what I got out of in order to be at the first meeting! So I will keep that to myself!
We just had our first crafting day and our project was making Doily bowls! The crafting group was a mix of women that I knew and women that I had never met before. We met at Nester’s house, so of course I had to sneak some pictures of her house in all decorated for Christmas along with the how tos!
|
| 1. Grab a doily. If you don’t have one, you can find them at any thrift store or antique store. One of these was actually from the Dollar Tree! Can you tell which one!?!? |
|
| 2. You will need a bowl, the size depends on your doily and what you want the end product to look like. 3. Cover your bowl with clear plastic wrap. |
|
| 4. Pour your Stiffy Fabric Stiffner into a bowl. You can find it at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s. I wonder if regular Elmer’s glue would work!?! |
|
| 5. Drown your doily in a bowl of Stiffy and then squeeze out the excess. 6. Drape Doily over your bowl. We will miss you sweet Caroline. |
|
| Nester cooks like she decorates…AMAZING! |
|
| Yes that owl is wearing a fur. Love! |
|
| Nester is always so good at using what she has. Here she wrapped her seashells with yarn for beautiful, handmade, one of a kind ornaments. |
|
| 7. Dry on a rack in the dryer for about 30 minutes or until it is totally stiff. If you don’t have a rack just let your doily dry overnight on the counter. |
|
| 8. Hang out with some old friends and meet some new. |
|
| TA DA!!! |
|
| 9. Time to fill your doily with lots of goodies! |
My name is Angela Statzer and I love to incorporate just about anything into my artwork. Ranging from recycled materials, vintage items, wood, jewelry, other people’s junk, buttons and fabric, my style is fun and diverse. You can find me smiling at any yard sale, thrift store or flea market. I am a momma to two amazing kids and wife to one hot husband.

Hi Angela
Maybe you need an older, not necessarily wiser addition to the group?
What a cute idea for doilies! Since Caroline has to leave the group can I take her place?? I live in Charlotte so I could easily get there
Rhondi
