Starching the doilies and shaping them does not destroy them. I have a large box of doilies that were made by my aunt and my grandmother and there's no way I can use them all as they were intended to be used. I want to keep them in the family and I'm trying to find different ways to re-purpose them. They can also be stitched over a contrasting color fabric and made into pillows or quilts.

Thanks so much for sharing!! I have tons of doilies which I buy from op shops and garage sales for next to nothing. I was just lent a paverpol book yesterday. I was just wondering how strong the bowl would be. I wouldn't think it would be heavy enough for a fruit bowl?? I really love this. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I'm not sure about using Paverpol with it (haven't read the label, maybe it's flammable? or not?), but liquid starch will come a long way as well. ;) Liz: you sure can make a lampshade the same way you make the bowl.

Yes the tinfoil does stick a bit but I pried it off while it was semi dry and then replaced it back on the bowl. Also the key - i've discovered the hard way - is not to put a lot of the paverpol on. My lace was quite holey so I have bits where the paverol is now a bit visible. I'd go in stages next time - less is more at a time. Just an update, as I’ve almost finished one of these.

I personally would not do this to a fine handmade family heirloom but like others mentioned, it's sad to see the pieces deteriorate or become bug food in a box in the attic.
