Doilies can make for lovely tea party decorations, but they can be pricey. Crocheting is another option, but that can be time consuming and is less than ideal if your tea party guests are messy eaters. Coffee filter doilies make for pretty place settings and they're relatively fast to make, so if they are destroyed during the course of the event, it's less of a big deal. If you want your doilies to be a color other than white, next week we'll talk about dyeing them, so stay tuned.
Materials:
*Coffee filters
*Pencil
*Scissors
Directions:
*Fold your coffee filters into eighths or sixteenths.
*Sketch out a pattern for your doily, if you would like.
*Cut along the pattern, or try free form shapes. It's basically the same process as making paper snowflakes, but with perhaps different designs.
