When we come across any kind of material and start brainstorming, we often head to Pinterest to see if our idea has been done before, or if there are all sorts of other ideas we haven’t thought of yet. Case in point for today is the doily. Whether you call it a doiley, a doilie, or a circular piece of lace, you’ve likely seen one of these little darlings and maybe even set a dessert table involving many. We’re pumped to give props to all our fellow DIYers out there, and are totally impressed by these 15 DIY doily projects.

JoAnne S. The doilies are beautiful. We ordered the burgundy 4-inch ones for the bottom of the wedding favor box. They came on time and are just perfect.

Just wonderful to work with. Jan W. Thank you so much for the beautiful plum doilies. My daughter is getting married November 10 and we found that you had different sizes and beautiful colors.
