    Using doiles on planters

    Hello everyone, I found this link on the Internet from a lady from Georgia. She used her mothers doilies to cover a plant pot. She put that beautiful doily in cement and layered the pot. I thought this was unique.
    I would not take something my mother made to do that. I guess I am more sentimental. But her idea would work and protect the doily for a long time and the family could enjoy it also for a long time.

    she says she used doilies from the dollar store, up until the last when she added one of her mother's. I might try it with just dollar store doilies.

    Hi karenlatas, I thought about that too. There are lots of doiles besides heirlooms ones to use. I like the idea though. She has other videos too and used spray paint that looked pretty good.

    What if it breaks? Will the doily ripe apart too?

    Hello fec31455, The doily was put into cement if the planter breaks I imagine the doily will crumble
    . That is why she suggested to use doilies from the dollar store.
