Now for the fun stuff!
I decided to share something sassy and light.
You know…something kid friendly!
After all..It is summer time and the kids are into
EVERYTHING…
This is all you need!
(neon fabric paint, Grandma’s doilies, and a cheap foam brush.)
well…lots of napkins too!

First
Let the “little one” squirt squirt squirt!

(make sure the doilie is completely saturated.)

Let it dry!
(It will become kinda hard.)
then rinse it in cold water.
(then it becomes soft.)
Let it dry again!
(take some cute pictures)
Ok..now it’s your turn!
Dab a little fabric paint on one side only.
(This helps it stay in place when you start sewing.)

But you don’t have to sew!
You can always use these to decorate.
Find something cute to stick it on.
(onesie, tote bag, shirt)
Anything you can manage to get under the sewing machine!
Now…
Sew along the outer edges in a zig zag stitch.
Get your camera !
now you can capture
50% Sassy and 50% Sweet!
Happy Friday!

Fabulous! My mind is thinking of a million different ways to use these. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
these are so cute and way fun!!! thanks for sharing this!
This is really cute, but I think it should be noted that you can get machine-made doilies for about $1 from JoAnn Fabrics and similar stores.
“Grandma’s doilies”, if handmade, take somewhere over 12 hours to make PER DOILY (unless she’s *really* fast, then maybe 6 hours?).
Totally cute! I’m pretty sure I need to make one of these. 🙂
This is “OH MY HECK” cute!!
Really cute idea with lots of other applications. I think you meant use Fabritac instead of fabric paint to keep it stuck on the shirt when sewing.
thanks for sharing this!

Such a cute idea! I found two, small/medium-ish ones, in a package at Dollar Tree, or one large one. I may need to try this for my new niece
So fun and hip!
