Halloween Doily Tutorial Treat by Shantaie


Hi!  Shantaie here with a fun new way to use SRM's 6" doilies.  I'm always looking for fun new ways to package and present treats, and really could a doily jack-o-lantern be any cuter? Want to see the trick to this treat?  They are really quite easy.

1.  Start with a shallow container big enough for the 6" doily to fit into and fill it with 1" of water and squeeze several drops of orange food coloring into the water and mix.

2. Dip one doily at a time into the dye and let sit for a few seconds. Gently remove doily and let excess liquid drip off, lay flat on a scrap paper.

3.  Lightly spray with a shimmer mist and let dry completely. Totally dry!

4. Cut out a cute or creepy Jack-o-lantern face from SRM's black Vinyl and transfer it to the center of the doily.

5. Stitch along the outer edge of the doily beyond the lace, leave a small area open to fill with candy, and close.

6. Fold a green Punched Piece into thirds towards the center and fold back the right side, attach with a tiny staple, add a leaf and ribbon, make a bow from gold bakers twine and pop a flower in the center. 

7. Add a little tag embellished with a trick or treat sticker and your Pumpkin doily is ready to give!
