Repurposed Vintage Doilies and Frames

Ever wonder what to do with vintage crochet doilies and table runners?

I love them but don’t use them in my décor and wanted to come up with something  to showcase their beauty.

Vintage wood frames and vintage doilies make a lovely combination.

Here’s what I came up with.
 Tip: you don't need to use a square doily for a square frame, most of the doilies I used were round. I also think they look better when the center of the doily is off center in the frame, it also makes it easier to attach to the frame.

Staple and stretch the lace over the backside of the frame, make sure you stretch it rather taught, the tighter it is the better it will look.

I also used an old wood window frame, if you don’t have enough room on the middle cross bars to staple, you can also use a fast setting epoxy to adhere the lace to the frame.

When you’re done stapling or gluing, trim the excess doily with scissors. 

It was a fast, easy project, I hope you try it.
