On the 10th Trendy Day of Christmas Kimberly is celebrating doilies, like the one seen here in this wonderful Shabby Chic design that combines a vintage lace doily with burlap.
As soon as I thought of doilies and Christmas, I had an immediate image come to my mind … and I love when I'm able to translate that image into reality.
I started by dying small white doilies with Forest Green Glimmer MIst. I used my heat gun to help dry them, drying from the back to minimize the curling of the paper. I love the variation in the green and the lovely overall shimmer. Next I cut my doilies into fourths and started building my Christmas tree from the bottom using glue dots at the top of the triangle.
When I made it all the way to the top, I went back and tucked in a few more remaining triangles to fill in my tree. Next I added a woodgrain stamped trunk, champagne pearl garland and a gold punched star. The sentiment is a K&Company Rub-on.
Now I want to go make my doily tree in other fun holiday hues.
Make sure you stop by Kimberly's blog to check out the other doily-inspired designs & link up yours.
