Doilies / Charger Plates

Moonbeam88, 7 September, 2015 at 15:30 Posted on Planning 0 8

I wanted to use gold charger plates or beaded placemats as part of my table decoration but soon realised this would be an expensive option! I have looked into other options and paper doilies appear to be the cheapest... Do you think if i bought white doilies and sprayed them gold this would work? Or can anybody think of any other alternatives??

Thanks!

    I'm sure you can buy gold ones.

    Yep ebay. No need to spray. Probably pound shops too. And cheap enough you can order a few different packs to see which ones you prefer and make sure they work for you.

    Struggling to find gold ones big enough! I think i'd need them around 12 inches wide? Also after a soft gold rather than a yellow gold...I don't suppose anybody out there has found large ones in a nice gold??

    This is what I'm going to do. They do them on etsy but are expensive so I am going spray paint them too.

    Would hiring gold charger plates be an option for you. Not that I even know if it's possible but you seem to be able to hire most things.

    I haven't come across any to hire in my region yet but will keep looking. I might order some large white doilies and give the spray painting a trial see how it goes. glad i'm not the only crazy girl thinking of doing this hehe!

    What about disposable chargers? £10.99 for a pack of 4:

    Hi, I'm not sure if you are still planning on painting some doilies. We gave it ago yesterday, the pictures doesn't do much justice for them. But I thought they came out nice and when we had candles near them it was really nice.
