DIY Tutorial: Doily Bunting

When I was growing up my gran always had little doilies placed on the coffee table. There were always little bits that she had made dotted around the house. So whenever I see them in second hand shops and boot fairs I am taken back to my grandparents house. If you have any doilies lying up in the attic or in a box somewhere in the garage, why not use them to make this bunting for your wedding. They will definitely bring that sense of vintage to your big day. Thank you to Charlie Leya Photography for all the spectacular images in this post.~ Kate
