It’s time for another Cheap, Pretty and Good post. Really this is long overdue, but it’s not a high priority here so…enjoy while you can. :-) All of these crafts are easy enough for kids to do, so they would make nice craft or art projects.
[Disclaimer on all sources, as usual.]
Here is a tutorial over at “Cake.” for a cute garland made with paper doilies. It would be fairly easing to add letters and make a “Happy Birthday” banner, I think. Either way, it will dress up a party without costing too much. (It seems to me that you could use real doilies to make this as well if you have a pile that you don’t know what to do with. You might want to sew them in place with a few stitches and use some pretty ribbon instead of yarn.)

With the leftover paper doilies you might like to make these paper roses over at “paper, plate, and plane”:

I think they also look like peony tulips.
(Note: Keep an eye open for paper doilies in February, especially the red ones.)
At “Oh Happy Day” is a tutorial for some simple paper calla lilies.

If you’re a paper crafter this could be a nice way to use up scraps. They could be done with inexpensive colored paper of any sort.
Hope you enjoy this little post.
