Pearl and Doily Flowers

Lace Doily Flowers

These sweet and delicate flowers are simple to make. You will only need a few supplies and some dry time. They look pretty sitting solo on a table and stunning gathered as a bouquet. You could place them in a vase or gather them with a ribbon.

Materials:
lacy doily
mod podge matte
foam paintbrush
wax paper
tin foil
wire floral stem
large pearl
floral tape


1. Begin with doilies that are smaller than 6 inches.


2. Saturate them with Mod Podge.

3. Create a tin foil drying shaped like a mini ghost.
4. Place the doily on the foil and allow to dry.

6. Thread the pearls onto the wire in the center.
6. Fold the wire in half.

8. Twist the ends of the wire.
9. Poke the wire down the center of the doily.

9. Wrap the base of the doily and the stem with floral tape.
(stretch the tape as you go)

10. Curl the stem.

Make more!
