DIY Lace Paper Doily Chandeliers

Making garlands out of paper lace doilies is a super easy and cheap decoration idea. The simplest way is to use circle paper doilies, fold them in half and then glue them straddled over some decorative ribbon.  But don’t forget that doilies come in so many different shapes and sizes that be sure to fold, cut and bundle them together to create eye catching designs.
