Last night Katie, Steph and I decided to have some girly time. After hemming and hawing over exactly what this time would entail, we decided to have some craft time! There had been a project that I’d been meaning to attempt for quite some time now. I mentioned the project to the girls and after some slight coordination and gathering of necessary ingredients for the bags – bam! - craft night was officially happening.
Go here for the step-by-step instructions. (And be sure to meander around her site a bit. She is quite possibly one of the cutest moms that I have never actually met. If that even makes sense. haha.)
Please note: One teeny-tiny step that Ashley might have forgotten to include in her directions was the amount of massive hole punching that you may have to endure with a toothpick. I never would have noticed, but Katie realized that the doilies I picked up were the same pattern as in the example. After figuring out how she managed to get as much detail from her doily – both Steph and Katie decided we needed to go in and make the holes more prominent. With a toothpick. One. By. One. Oofta. It was definitely a trial of my patience, that’s for sure.
You had to punch holes with a toothpick!!! My doiles were all punched out….that would add a lot of extra time to this craft! There were maybe 5 spots that the paper had to be punched out on mine…yikes!
I actually don’t know if punching with the toothpick helped much. haha. But they really did turn out amazing!! Thank you for the fantastic idea – as well as all of the other great inspiration on your blog. You have no idea how much you just made my day by being first blog commenter ever! : )
