This is a nice easy one and has a brilliant outcome. We have been inspired by all things vintage lately and want to share it with you.
We are going to show you how to make easy peasy doily bowls, so get to your grannies house and steal..ahem, ask nicely for her doilies or have a root through some charity shops. We found them nice and cheap in an antique shop.
Here's what you will need!
Doilies, doilies and more doilies.
PVA glue and plenty of it (Fabric stiffener can be used but it's quite expensive. PVA works just as well).
Cling film.
A bowl.
Firstly, make sure your doilies are all nice and clean as you don't want a bowl with a big tea stain on it. (Unless you're going for that look, of course).
Cover your bowl with cling film and put your doily over the top. Then go crazy with the glue! Add a little bit of water to your PVA to make it easier to spread. Don't be shy - slap it on as it will dry clear so don't panic about how much you're putting on!
Wait a few hours until its completely dry! With all this nice weather we are having you can pop it outside and it will be dry in no time!
Once the doily feels solid enough to pull off the bowl, remove the cling film slowly (it should come off fairly easily) and voilà you have a nice vintage doily bowl to fill with goodies!
