DIY Doilies



 DIY Dyed Doilies

Have fun with dying some paper Doilies. I was out looking for different color doilies and couldn't find any other than white and gold. I once saw a tutorial on how to color coffee filters so I tried the same method for these doilies and they came out perfect!



Supplies:

• A bowl or baking dish (I used a Pyrex baking dish)
• White doilies (dollar tree)
• Food coloring
• Paper towels
• Rubber gloves

This is like coloring Easter eggs, the longer the doilies soak the darker color you will get.

If you don't want colored fingers = wear your gloves! But change gloves as you change colors so you don't mix your colors!

1. First fill your Pyrex dish with enough water to cover your doilies. Add your food coloring to your water. You will need your food coloring to be very concentrated. The darker the water the better! Lay down some paper towels for the doilies to dry on.
2. submerge one doily in the water ( wearing your gloves) and let the doily soak for 10-15 seconds
3. gently take the doily out of the water and lay on the paper towel to dry. ( these doilies are very fragile)  
4. Blot dry them right away with a different paper towel, and set aside to dry. 

This can be a fun project for your kids to help you with! I gave a few to the kids to play with and they had a little tea party.
