How To Upcycle A Vintage Doily Into A Unique Decorative Storage Bowl
By Trinity Archie
If you have a vintage doily, try turning it into a unique storage bowl to hold small, lightweight items. To start, find a bowl that is the proper size for shaping your doily bowl.
Cover the back of the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and cover the surface you're working on with cardboard or parchment paper. Then, place your doily onto the back of your bowl.
With a brush, coat the doily in a fabric stiffener, like Mod Podge Stiffy, until it's saturated with the liquid. Let it harden into the bowl's shape overnight before removing it.
You can customize your doily bowl by painting the doily before turning it into a bowl. Be sure to avoid placing anything too heavy or large inside to prevent breaking the bowl.
