How do you do: Dressing up the little black dress...

When one party invite arrives, the rest follow in a domino effect... while it's wonderful to go out and buy something new for each affair, an endless wardrobe of party dresses is not what I want to fill my closet with... a great pair of shoes or an amazing bag will get more wear than the one-off outfit... so what's a girl to do but think of something new... 

The love idea of spray painting faux flowers, stitching them onto a ribbon which is then pinned to a strapless dress... not so artistic, adorn your dress with a cluster of vintage gold brooches... the possibilities are endless with a little creativity... enjoy!!!

How do you do: Doily corsage...

Growing up, my house was filled with doilies my grandmother made...  some doilies dressed up tables while some were framed... 

looking for something new to do with these doilies, I love the idea of using them to make a gorgeous corsage pin...  so gather those doilies and let's begin...

Step one: Take two doilies and place one on top of the other.

Step two: Roll them together like a loose cone and fasten with a piece of string.

Step three: Cut off the bottom, just below the string. If you're using doilies of sentimental value and don't want to cut off the bottom then I would suggest flattening the bottom as flat as possible for the next step. 

Step four: Hot glue a pin in place. 

Enjoy!!!
