Doily Art - Simple but effective!

This is a really quick and cheap way of making some pretty wall art!

Here's what you need:

Paper doilies (from $2 shops)

A canvas - mine is covered with some plain fabric

Spraypaint (any colour)

That's it! Follow the pictorial method above and you will be away laughing.


Handy Hints:

• If you don't like the slightly blurry look, try using a sponge to dab some paint on or a regular paintbrush instead of spraypaint.

•  Use a weight to hold the doilies down.

• If the edges of the doilies fan upwards, try turning them over before applying paint. Ah the joy of symmetry. 

• The beauty of this artwork is that it leaves a nice blank circular space in the middle to add some text or a picture.

Here is one I painted earlier

That's a bit of an inside joke between Dave and I, an adaptation from Winnie the Pooh.

I would love to see what you come up with , especially if you aren't boring like me and use nice bright colours, so make sure you link me a picture of your creations!
