Shy Spirit Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I don't have a printie, but if you look at the full-size doilies, they sometimes incorporate smaller circles in their design. You could cut out a part of the design that would make a dollhouse scale doily. :w00t: Alternatively, look at any lace you may have on hand. Again, the design may include smaller circles that would make very nice doilies! One more thought - if only the edge of the doily will be visible, how about cutting a circle of paper with fancy edged scrapbooking scissors? There are nice scalloped ones, wavy edge, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 If it's just a printie there won't be a lot of dimensioness (love those kinds of words) to the doily but you can add some shading to certain areas of just any printed doily with coloured pencils. I've used some from here before: http://www.thedoilyplace.com/product_info....products_id/187 Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Those are pretty, Marlene. Do they print out to scale, or do they need re-sizing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 It all depends on the size of the doily that you need if it has to be resized or not. Its easy with any document program even. The attachment here is just a "save as" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemlady Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I also found that the Dollar tree store sells those paper dollies.I have used them. Also some of the lace at Hancocks has some great designs That you can use. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
