Last summer I ran across a bag full of antique paper doilies at a garage sale. For $5.00 I bought about 50+ doillies. I was so excited to add them to my art studio. I knew they would work great on candle holders because it had the holes to let the light out. I used them to decorate my altered bottles as well.

this one is darling...I used a sants cup cake topper on the cap and made the neck look like the chimney, next I used some black drawer liner co frame itut up as the roof. I had an antique xmas card of a fire place and I used the doilie to frame it.
blue bottle silver doilie and blue jewels and such.
one of my favs...a Japanese xmas card with a silver doilie and pink tissue paper and beads too.
