Three of the best – decorative doilies

Doilies. It’s a weird word. The more I look at the word, the weirder it becomes and doilies themselves could also be considered strange – obsolete even. 

However, last year saw a rise in doily sales which may explain why there are so many of them around. If you like them, here are some ideas.

Tread softly
This rug might look fragile but it is made of cotton so a great choice if you want to add a homespun touch to your floor. It’s currently on sale for £35.

String them along
A simple way to use doilies is to string them up like this. Martha Stewart can show you how, over on her wedding website.

Use your loaf
These doily patterned loaf cases are super cute and perfect for tea time. Personally, I think my banana cake would look lovely in one of these.
