 "One of the newest add-ons in BoBunny's products are these beautiful and fun paper doilies. Recently, I've received various emails from my readers asking me, "how we can use these paper doilies besides making it into flowers, using it as stencil/mask or using it as direct layering?"

The first idea that popped up in my head is altering! These are paper doilies, you can easily alter them. Here are a few ideas to share with you all.

In this first idea, I've used a large doilie.

 Cut out the inner circle and you will get a ring with beautiful details to layer on your layout.

In this second idea, use the leftover of the inner circle which you've cut out from the earlier paper doilie.

 Cut out another layer of smaller circle from the inner circle piece and you will get another ring to design your layout with.

For this third idea, I used a medium paper doilie.

 Cut out the inner circle but this time, the cut area is slightly different from the earlier paper doilie. (Notice the edges of the cut out circle)

 Use the inner cut out circle and also cut out another smaller circle from a scrap paper to use as a mask on this paper doilie.

 Use a sponge and ink to do the masking on the paper doilie. 

This will create another journaling piece for your layout.

This fourth idea is to use what is leftover from the medium paper doilie after you've used the inner circle.

 Fold pleats on the paper doilie ring and this will create a smaller circle which you can use to layer under tags or create a circular badge with paper doilie edges. You could also use this technique to create a paper doilie framed circle photograph.

This last idea is a very simple one which you can create using the small paper doilie

Cut the small paper doilie into quarters and then, fold pleats with them. This will let you create a fan like folded doilie which you can insert among your cluster of flowers. You can ink or color them with mist before adding it to your projects."

Can you stand it???  Such a fun tutorial... I'm thinking I'm off to play.

Don't forget...

Enjoy your day, friends!!!
