Hello lovelies! I wanted to share this DIY I posted over at The Perfect Pear for her 12 days of easter project!
You will need...
PVA Glue (Elmers glue in the usa?)
Cling Film (cerran wrap)
A bucket or ceramic bowl. Ceramic bowls can give nice curved edges but i fancied the bucket effect ^-^
A doily
A paintbrush to apply the glue
All you need to do is put the cling film securely around your bowl or bucket and secure. Place to doily on top and make sure you centre it before putting on any glue.
The top image below is the 'before the glue' shot and below is after - when i smothered in PVA. Use A LOT!
I then left this to dry over night. Make sure you use plenty of glue and spread evenly with your paintbrush. As soon as you are done with your brush - wash it. PVA comes out fine.
The day after I went in to check on it and it had completely dried woo! So all thats left to do is remove your cling film from the bowl
...and then the cling film from the doily!
et voila!
This would be a very cute way to store little chocolate easter treats! I'm actually lusting after a cadburys creme egg right now. I wish I had a chocolate stash but if I even had a box for a chocolate stash I think it would always be empty; for I am, a chocolate Monster.
Because this DIY is so super simple... If you make it.. please come back and link your blog post or flickr post in the comments section, because I really really do love seeing everyones works and it's a lovely feeling to know I inspired someone ^-^
Lots of love Claire xo

This is so cute! I've always wanted to try something like this, I think the result is really beautiful. You can also dye the doily in different colors and get an even more interesting result.
Thanks for sharing. :-)
Oh, and Happy Easter! I hope you'll have a great time! :-)

I made a couple of these before but they didn't turn out half as pretty as the one you made. Plus I love how delicate the lace doily looks. Beautiful!
