Doily notebook
- First lay a piece of plastic on a work surface to protect it from spray glue.
- Lay paper doily flat and make small marks with a pencil at the centre of the doily to ensure it lines up with the spine of the notebook.
- Spray the doily with glue, then align the centre with the spine and stick down.
- Trim or fold in any remaining parts of the doily.

Pretty envelopes
- Ensure the doily is slightly bigger than the envelope.
- Trace around the shape of the envelope onto the doily then trim slightly smaller than the envelope.
- Glue the bottom side of doily and carefully insert into envelope.

A doily vase

Stencil wrapping paper
