Lace bowls

When I found these pretty lace doilies in a charity shop, I really had no idea what my plans were for them, but with their flower design I couldn’t resist them.

Then I remembered seeing some lovely lace bowls online, so I decided to have a go at making my own!

1. I chose bowls that were a suitable size, and covered them in cling film.
2. I painted the doilies with mod podge on a piece of cardboard, then turned them over and squidged them into place on the bowls.

3. I gave them another coat of mod podge on the outside and left them to dry.

Great idea! Wondering if I could use fabric stiffener instead of mod podge to achieve the same result?
