Below you will find many doily crafts ideas and projects for kids. Find out how to recycle and make cool stuff with recycled doilies with the following arts and crafts decorations, instructions, patterns, and activities for children
Christmas
Doily Light Bulb Ornament - This quick
and easy recycled lightbulb craft fills the bill when you're looking
for last minute Christmas decorations and Gift s. And who would ever
guess that a lightbulb is hiding in this pretty Christmas posie?
Doily
Angel - She's sweet. She's angelic. And
she's versatile - add some ribbon and she's an ornament, scatter her
and a few of her friends on the table with some votives and she's a
centerpiece, add her to a plate with a name card and she's a place
card, let your girls see her and she's a toy.
Doily
Angels - This is a project for ages 5
and up - it can be quite simple (just make the top of the angel) or
quite complex (make both pieces and decorate elaborately). Doily
angels can be Christmas tree decorations, or like this one, a
beautiful Christmas tree topper.
Doily
Bowls - Mold this around any bowl you
wish. If you wish to use the doily separate from a bowl, then only
use wrapped candies in it. This looks great for Easter or other
holidays to hold the holiday candy.

Christmas Ball - How to make a Doily
Potpourri Ball Christmas Ornament.
Doily
Ditty - Paper cones, of course! So
quick, easy and festive.
Doily
Dove Decoration - A beautiful craft to
hug in your house.

of Horace Pippin, an African-American painter. He got his start by
drawing on doilies with colored pencils that he won in an art
contest.

Frame - Make a doily frame to decorate
the photo of beloved one.
Doily
'n' Tassel Christmas Ornaments - Add a
touch of elegance to your Christmas tree with these pretty ornaments
made from doilies, pretty ribbons, and tassels.

and pleasing too, as we're sure you will find if you make a doily
ornament for Christmas.

Snowflake Ornament - This project is a
quickie and it's great for kids.

tree-topper conjures images of folktales and snow-dusted forests.

someone!

for valentines to give a teacher, we came up with this easy doily
flower. But of course, teachers aren't the only ones who'd appreciate
one, or an entire bouquet, of these lacy blooms.

How
to Make Suncatcher Doilies - These
suncatcher doilies are a big seller at my fall craft show. This might
be because they make such delicate, homemade Christmas tree
decorations. But they are also purchased in larger versions to use as
window suncatchers - both before and after Christmas!
Lily
Doily - Make
this beautiful doily for decoration!
Make
a Doily Christmas Tree - This elegant
white and gold Christmas tree decoration stands about 8" high
and would brighten any small corner to add to your Christmas decor.
What a beautiful homemade Christmas Gift it would make too - just box
it carefully, surrounded by a cloud of white tissue, and wrap in
white and gold paper with gold ribbons!
Make
a Large Snowflake Decoration out of Doilies - Bigger
is often better, but not usually cheaper! In this case, an oversized
snowflake made out of paper doilies is a super cheap and dramatic
addition to your winter decorations. These would be wonderful
decorations for a classroom, party, or your home.
Make
a Pretty Scarf out of Doilies - Sew
doilies together to make a pretty and lacy scarf.

Crimper adds dimension to your construction paper and provides
interest.

sit as a central dinner table decoration, as a seating arranger (just
write the name of each person on an angel and set them on the plates)
or you can put her on top of a small Christmas tree!

paper doilies is fun, especially when the end result is a sachet as
pretty as this one.
