what you'll need:
an embroidery hoop (I often find these while op-shopping)
a doily (just big enough to stretch inside your chosen hoop)
embellishments.. strips of vintage sheets, ric-rac, lace, twine, ribbon
take the embroidery hoop apart.
starting with the larger of the two (the one with the twist closure at the top) begin attaching your embellishments. simply loop through or knot in place. keep adding until you're happy with it.
with the smaller hoop lay the doily atop it, centring it.
gently place the larger, embellished hoop over the smaller one making the doily taught. tighten the twist closure and you're done. simply hang where you please.
I hope this little tutorial was helpful and do let me know if you try making one yourself,
now for a little give-away.. would you like to win this doily dream catcher?
simply leave a comment telling me a tutorial/diy that you'd like to see.
best of luck. I shall pick a winner at the end of the month.

Oh yes count me in! SO pretty! I would love to see any sewing tips seeing as I have just started sewing again after 25 years. Leisa. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous. My two favourite colours too. I would love to know how to read a crochet pattern! Totally flomoxes me!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty, zaranne. Count me in too only if you're posting overseas though. Sewing clothes - easy peasy ones ideally. Xx
ReplyDeletethat's so cute:) Ummm...anything you do a tutorial of would be fantastic. Ok, this one is really embarrassing but I'm guessing I'm not the only one with gumby-sewing style {I hope...}- how to properly sew on a button. I can never, ever, EVER get mine to stay on for longer than one or two wears. I'm hopeless! x
