HEART BUNTING

Hi Folks.
well i have been busy again this week.
I was trying to figure out how to make a bunting out of my beautiful filigree hearts doilies.
so out came my old faithful cutting machine, and i set to work to make a backing templateto for the hearts, using my Inkscape program.
I used Kraft card for the backing as i wanted a shabby chic look. i used my xyron machine to sticky back the hearts, it was a bit tricky as the hearts are so thin, so i had to be careful not to tear them. then i set to work doing what i love....decorating.
I finished off with metal eyelets to make it stronger and then used jute twine instead of ribbon.
i hope you like them, i thought it looked very pretty and very unique.
this is for sale in my eBay shop.

DOILY DECORATION

Hello Folks.
I have been having a bit of a play with some new doilies that arrived from America.
they are so cute and small.
dont they make pretty little decorations to hang in a window or just about anywhere.
I used 6 doilies to make this hanging decoration.
They measure 3.5" or 9cm.
a piece of twine and two wooden beads.
The doilies are available from both my eBay store and website

MY PAPER LACE DOILY BUNTING

Hi Folks, Happy new year to you all.
I have finally got around to doing some crafting this year, and decided to make my version of a doily bunting.
you do see a lot of Doily bunting, but they are usually just a round Doily folded in half and put on string.
so i decided to do one using my 5" square doily.
here is the end product.
notice the centre....room for lettering which is my next one.
I have these bunting for sale in my eBay shop in assorted colours.
