Dyed Doily Banner

Add a few drops of food coloring to a dish of water. To get a teal green I used a little of green and blue.

Mix together.

Add doilies to mixture. Submerge long enough for color to soak in.

Dry on a drying rack or towels.

Sew doilies onto ribbon or binding tape.

    Eep- this is so fun! And I love how you can customize it for different seasons/holidays too :)
    I've seen those oval doilies at the dollar tree and always wondered if they would look good as bunting...and now I know!
    This turned out so cute!
