Debbi Morrow-Carlson on Jan 12, 2016You can make bowls using fabric stiffener, collars and cuffs for a sweater, frame them, a globe light - again with the stiffener; use a glue and water mix to cover glass jars or clear glass Christmas ornaments. Make doll clothes. Cover a journal type book and make a special diary. If you have enough you can make a quilt with them, or pillows if you only have a few. Trim the bottom of some great towels for the bathroom.Helpful Reply

Cindy S. on Jan 12, 2016I have used them for curtains and valances. They look awesome. Use the curtain rings that have the little clip to hold the doilies and either do a stitch to connect them or a small dot of hot glue. I did this in my kitchen window and it's so light and airy looking and goes perfectly with my pallet faced cabinets and farm table.Helpful Reply

Sandra Allen on Jan 12, 2016Spot tie or crochet them together and make a tablecloth! To prevent spills tho' I would get some inexpensive clear plastic and cover them. If they are tied they can be interchangeable should one become stained or ripped. I hope that helps!!Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Jan 12, 2016Every one else has already covered my ideas. The only thing I would not do is put them where children or pets can get at them, I have 4 cats and have learned this the hard way. other that these ideas, I would put them somewhere safe and bring them out to look at from time to time. Thought - line shelves in china cabinet and then put in crystal, etc to protect rims of glasses.Helpful Reply
