Paper Doilies dyed with food coloring

I saw this on another blog and decided to try it with my paper roses.  I got carried away and dyed the whole pack of doilies. It was so much fun, sort of like dying easter eggs, but they last a lot longer.  Im thinking some nesting shapes on top of them.  After dipping them in the solution of gel food coloring and water, i laid them to dry on a few paper towels.  When completely dry, i ironed them.  They really didn't need it though. A few of them were not as nice as i thought, there was only one doily, when actually there was two stuck together.

I dyed the swirl roses that was the other days freebie, but they arent completed as of yet.
