Don't know if this fits here but I've been making dream catchers with vintage doilies and embroidery hoops..
-
Oh wow, Effie, I love dreamcatchers and what a clever idea. Now...... where can I get doilies? ;)
-
I love the first 2 especially. Are you going to sell them or are they to be pressies? :flower:
-
They are for sale... I do craft fairs..
-
Good for you; I bet they'll sell like hot cakes
:flower:
-
Now why didn't you have that idea to share when I was tasked with making a dream catcher for LGD to stop the nightmares? They are lovely - I bet they'll sell well!
-
Wow these are beautiful, what a good idea. I love them but they don't like me! I bought one years ago and had nightmares every night, I had to chuck it out :(
-
These are beautiful! Wish I had the time to make one, I'd love to hang one in the window of my back bedroom. I like the one in your pic, the red and cream colours are lovely.

Make them!
The two pink ones are crocheted, the cream one has a crocheted edging, not certain about the centre part, photo isn't detailed enough but it's either netting or bobbin lace - plus all the extra bits added.
They are super, and a lovely way to use up charity shop finds or whatever.

Years ago when DD1 was a toddler she had a duck ornament hanging in her bedroom window. One night she awoke and it must have been moving a little and throwing a shadow on the wall; it terrified her. :'(

How big are they, Effie? I bought some vintage doilies at the car boot sale this morning but they are small.
-
The pink are around 7 inches and the cream around 12 inches.
-
Thanks, Efemera. The ones I have are 7". Now all I need is everything else. <3
-
I'm going to be looking in the charity shops on Thursday :D
-
I paid 50p for 2 at the car boot. Happy bargain hunting, Low. I'm going to check out the charity shops for beads tomorrow.
-
Ooh, yes Pearl, I must look for them too :)
-
Here are my charity shop treasures - a jar of beads and broken jewellery and an embroidery hoop.
-
Fabulous!.... look forward to the finished article....
-
I managed to read most of this as dollies rather than doilies. Narcism on my part ...... : :o ;) ><
-
Our charity shops seem to be a doily free zone, but I'll keep looking :) ( I have hoops in a couple of sizes )
-
Only just seen this ... they are lovely Efemera! I've got some vintage doilies made by my granny. What a very good idea! <3
