Vintage Leaf Cone Update


I finally found a photograph to show my faithful readers the desired effect we are going for! It looks here a bit like rose petals, but you can see some leaf outlines. I hope it goes well!

I bought twice as many leaves as I originally was considering, and have decided to use the 8" doilies instead of the 10". Hmmm. Let's see here. Twice as many leaves in less space....

Lastly, I looked up how to yellow paper. I must have forgotten from middle school, all it takes is a pot of tea! The difficult part is going to be finding a place for 120+ doilies (because of course for everything I make I need to remember to make an extra one of for us!) to lay flat to dry in our one bedroom apartment. This is going to be a long process! But fun. I love the hands-on aspect of weddings and cannot WAIT to really delve into the DIY projects and get to see the final product!
