Doily Crafts – Inspired ideas

Some crocheters love doilies with their intricate designs, while others find them time-consuming and boring.  Whether you crochet a doily yourself, find it at a craft store or stumble across it at a second hand shop, there is so much craft potential for the doily.  Doilies are conventionally used as decorative mats, but let’s just forget that for a moment.  Let’s step out of the box and get creative! Here are are some inspired ideas for doily crafts.
