Doily Doves

Updated: Dec 31, 2020

Pentecost (5/31) celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. The symbols of Pentecost include a dove representing the Holy Spirit as well as flames and wind. These doily doves are a beautiful and easy Pentecost craft and can be used as table name tags, ornaments, or decorations for a beautiful center piece.


Materials:

  • White Doilies (any size works...)

  • Scissors

  • School Glue

  • Sewing Needle (OPTIONAL)

  • White Sewing Thread (OPTIONAL)

Directions:

  1. Fold the doily in half.

  2. Using scissors, create a 'tail' at one end of the folded daily (see third image above).

  3. Using scissors, create a 'head' at the other end of the doily. Remove the remaining lace, but do not dispose of it.

  4. Use the leftover lace to create two 'wings'. Attach the 'wings' using a glue stick.

  5. IF you want to turn your doily doves into ornaments, use a needle to thread a piece of sewing thread through the top of the dove. Tape the excess thread to the inside of the bird.
