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 all these ideas for stencilling with paper doilies, and can think of a few more that I want to try out so watch this blog!

Great ideas…loving the bag!
Thank you the bag I think would make a lovely gift.
I love paper doilies and always keep a package on hand. I use them whenever I can -- usually when I'm serving something "fancy" for company. These are great-looking projects. The doily designs really add a lot to the original objects.
Thank you, yes you can get some lovely doily designs.
How pretty these are! I never thought to use a doily to stencil with but it is a perfect idea. A must try idea.

Wow, I love these projects, especially the pillows! Now you've got me wondering if I have some paper doilies around here somewhere . . . 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
Thank you! I found doilies at the back of my cupboard I think I had them for years, finally found a use for them.
Never would have thought to use a paper doily! I love the pillows!
Thank you, I think they work well on pillows.
There is not one of these that I don't want! I love the intricate pattern of the doily and have never even imagined it as beautifully used before. How wonderful to make them come alive in all of these ways.
Thank you, it is amazing how a doily stencil can really transform something.
Great ideas! I really love the cushions doing in blue and white - I think I will try this so I have pinned for later 🙂 I actually used plastic doilies to make some decorative cones out of air drying clay - they have such pretty patterns
Thank you, I haven't seen plastic doilies I need to look into those more.

Can't decide what I love more...those pillows or those plates! Either way, fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lynn.
I LOVE the pillow idea! I just may have to try that on my next DIY project instead of trying to find the perfect pattern in the store, I can create it!
Thank you, the pillows are really easy to do.
I love the way each piece looks after you stenciled them. What a lovely idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much.
Beautiful! I stenciled a wood box centerpiece with an old plastic doily last year. Turned out great. And the plastic made it even easier than paper!
Thank you, I bet the box looked lovely.
