How to make a doily

-
The images are pretty self explanatory but here are the steps.
  1. Trace a circle using a cup.
  2. Use large scalloped scissors to cut around the circle.
  3. Use a hole punch to punch a hole in each scallop.
  4. Punch another row above and in between the other holes.
  5. Erase circle or flip it over.
And done!

You can use this same technique in a straight line to make a lace strip like I did for the package on the left.

I made them! {Rosette Cookies}

Remember this post where I bought these ? Well I finaly made some, and boy are they GOOOOD! They are so delicate and crispy! Very rich, too; shouldn't have eaten so many. :0 Below are the rosette cookies I made this afternoon. Enjoy! (Scroll to bottom of this post for a little tutorial!) Just look at how neat they look on the inside, (below) they're so lacy and fragile. Here below is the only surviving butterfly cookie. I made these last and was running out of batter, oh well, kind of pretty and sculptural looking though. Here is one of the last blobs of batter I poured into the oil. Not crispy and light at all, but they were still super yummy. (Tasted a little like the funnel cake you get at the fair.) Want a mini tutorial? :) Well here you go then... ************************************************************************************* --How to make rosette cookies-- Make your batter ( I used Martha's) Heat your oil.
