Valentine's Day is coming and this year I want to throw a party. I thought I'd see what I could make using supplies from Dollar Tree. I got two packs of doilies and went to work.
Supplies:
Foam board
Clear plastic string
Doilies
Tape
Tools:
Box cutter
I started by cutting a piece of form board about 4 inches wide by 30 inches.
Next I laid out the doilies on the floor the way I wanted them to look:
Then I took the clear plastic string (jewelry making supplies) and measured out equal lengths for the first layer. I taped them to the board and to the doily. When I tried them out, I noticed that I needed to back the red ones (they are only colored on one side). I repeated the same thing for the second layer. I decided on only two for tonight. I might add more later.
The final product looks pretty good in my window!

That's cute! I love a great dollar tree project. :)
I think these turned out beautifully! The heart doilies are too cool.
This is so cute. I love your idea, so neat :)
That is adorable! I bought a bunch of doilies there the other day but then got them home and had no clue what to do with them! Love your project!
I'm a serious Dollar Tree crafter. Excited b/c we are about to get a huge one just down the street from me : )
That is darling! I'll bet it looks great in the window too. I wish I was more creative in the crafts area...all I do is copy! I guess that's better than nothing. ;) Have a great day!
