DIY Doily Christmas Ornament

This DIY Doily Christmas Ornament is a beautiful way to repurpose & recycle old items to create a beautiful new Christmas ornament filled with memories!

A few summers ago I came across a yard sale that was in the process of ending & being packed up. As I started rummaging around the last of their items I found a pile of lace crocheted dollies. After picking out a few of my favorites the ladies offered all of the dollies to me for a few dollars.
Needless to say I was very happy to take them all off their hands!
But since buying the doilies I have done very little with them.





Although I used a doily I bought at a yard sale to create my DIY Doily Christmas Ornament I know that many people have doilies that are special to them & were made by their family members.
Creating your own Doily Christmas Ornaments is a beautiful way to repurpose doilies that are special to you but have been sitting in a drawer unused.
Not only will you be able to display them in a way that can be enjoyed year after year, but your family & friends will get to see & enjoy them too!





Materials:
Doily
Mason Jar Lid Ring
Hot Glue Gun & Glue
Christmas Hooks
Micro-Shear Flush Cutter
First, stretch out the doily & hot glue it to the edges of the mason jar ring.





Then attach a cheap christmas ornament hook, twisting it to create a loop, & cutting off the excess.
Flip over the loop so that the sharp edges are concealed under the doily & add a decorative Christmas ornament hook.





All that’s left is to hang it on your Christmas tree!
