Salvaged Window Frame Doily Display

Easy
A salvaged, glass-less window frame + inexpensive fiberglass screen +my grandmother's vintage crocheted doilies = a GORGEOUS piece of one-of-a-kind art that allows you to decorate using gorgeous doilies in a unique way. Talk about !
I found this salvaged window frame at an antique store and loved its chippy appeal right from the start.
I knew what I wanted to do with it, so I purchased some inexpensive fiberglass window screen (like you'd use on your back porch), spray painted it lightly, and staple gunned it to the back of my window frame.
I arranged my vintage crocheted and lace doilies on the front of the screen, safety-pinning them in place.
And simply stitched them to the screen with needle and thread!
Easy, right? And seriously gorgeous.
Hanging in our master bedroom!

I just LOVE this! I finally found a wooden frame in my mom's stuff I've had in a back closet for 5 years she had an embroidery piece in it. I'll send pics soon, I inherited many many doilies... Now putting them all together in one place instead of scattered about in drawers.... Thank you for posting this gread idea...
