Doily flower tutorial from Fon

Here's another borrowed tutorial from one of my awesome DT members.
Fon saw this "how-to" on YouTube (video)
but you know we like photos better than videos here, so let's look at Fon's version. Her photos and words:

How to make misted doily flower.

supplies you'll need:

• 
  
  3 or 4 pieces of doily
• 
  
  glimmer mist (I used two colors here)
• 
  
  glue/gel medium. (I used Golden gel mediums)
• 
  
  a button/bling for the flower center.
• 
  
  a round piece of scrap for the flower backing.

First, lay out all doilies and mist them. I misted mine in the sink, yes, it is mess free as I can clean the sink right away later.

When they are half dry, crumble them to add some texture.

Open them up and they'll look like this:

then layer and glue the centers together

Pinch the center so that you have gather all the pieces nicely together

Turn to its back, put on some glue and add the scrap circle that you have already prepared .

then you can snip off the center part.

Push the doily layers up to make it more 3D.

Then you can decorate it with button or bling.

Wualah!
