The Most Amazing Paper Doily Stencils
The Five Most Amazing Ways to Use Paper Doily Stencils
Sometimes do you think that your home decor is a bit safe and boring with plain pillows, furniture, plates, clothes etc? You know a bit of paint would help but you aren't confident of your painting abilities.
Well, I know a really simple way to jazz stuff up with paint and give it a bit of vintage charm. Using paper doily stencils is one of the quickest ways to transform the mundane and give it a bit of vintage awesomeness.
Paper doilies aren't just for showing off appetizers and cakes. They also make great stencils as they are so cheap and come in loads of different designs, shapes, and sizes.
I have rounded up what I consider to be five of the best ways to transform and upcycle with paper doily stencils and a bit of paint.
1.Paper Doily Stencils on a Cushion/Pillow - PillarBoxBlue
How about transforming some plain boring cushions/pillows with paper doily stencils and fabric paint. You could really have some fun here with contrasting colour combinations. These pillows are blue and white, but I think that a red pink combination would look fantastic.
2. Paper Doily Stencils on a Tote - Tidymom
This really is a lovely tote, I love how the monogram is surrounded by the doily stencil.
3. Painted Plate - Upcycling a Vintage plate with a doily- Pillarboxblue
Using ceramic paints and a paper doily is a fantastic way to upcycle some vintage crockery. It's also a great way to match a mismatched crockery set.
4. Doily Stenciled Bucket - The Country Chic Cottage
The doily stencil on the side of this bucket has definitely added some vintage country chic.
5. Doily Stencilled Stool - Glimmer and Grit
I love the way that this old kitchen stool has been upcycled with some paper doily stencils. The finished look is an amazing improvement.

I love the idea of using doilies as a stencil Claire and these are super pretty, especially those pillow. Gorgeous
Thank you Michelle.
Lovely idea, I'm finding it hard to pick a favourite. The basket with the soft grey and white is lovely, but the blue & white cushion would look great on my sofa too! Thanks for sharing at #HandmadeMonday
Thanks Julie, I like the pillows I have them on my sofa in the garden.
These are fabulous, Claire! The pillows are my favorite--pinned! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm!
Thank you, I think the pillows are my favourite too!
Claire they really are very easy to use and so versatile. I decoupaged a side table with them and love the dainty look. I really like your pillows. That was brilliant.
I bet your table looked lovely. Thank you!
I love all your ideas, but I think your cushions are my favourite.
Thank you, the cushions did turn out well.
These are all really great ideas! Love the look on each and every one of them! I have thought about doing this a million times but just haven't had the time yet. I might get there faster now that I've seen this!
