Almost everyone’s home has doilies lying around, either sitting on table surfaces, or stuffed into the pantry. They are usually used as decorations for plates of food, and save wood or glass surfaces from scratching and help to prevent sliding.
But do you know doilies can also be used in many DIY projects?
