Doily patterns

Options
What? They ask? A bloke wanting doily patterns?

Nah, not me - I've got thousands of them! :)

I intend having friends visit when my kitchen is all done and have pretty much decided on a HM (organic box scheme) fruit fool for desert and thought I'd have some nice paper doilies to sit them on.

AHA! I thought - I'll google for a nice one and print it.

I've picked one that has a sort of wedgwood blue background and on my heavyweight vellum paper it looks a treat. All I've got to do is cut round it nicely.

The google page with zillions of images is Here.

And the pattern I've picked is Here.

    Ooooh, pretty!

    I let the boys *make* them ... bit like making paper snowflakes at winter. We've even made paper "curtains" from wallpaper lining paper.

    The vellum doily sounds good. Enjoy cutting out all those wee holes :D

    I'm going to try for a reasonably close scalloped edge. I'm not sure my engineer type knives are delicate enough to do any more than that :p:)

    once you've done them - laminate them and you can use them again and again :)
