I have made a doily with Tonic Studios Daisy border punch and would like to share the idea with you.

Beautiful Doily. Thanks for posting instructions here.

So pretty! Thanks for sharing your instructions.

Wow this is awesome!! I've the doily lace punch from Martha Stewart, I'm going to try this with that!

That's pretty darn cool! TFS

Thanks, ladies...glad you like it!
Smirti, I'm afraid it won't work with your MS punch because it has more than 1 pattern to each punch, if you know what I mean...

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing how to make it happen. I can't wait to dust off those tonic punches!

That is gorgeous, thanks for the inspiration!

I'm going to have to give that a try, thanks for showing us so clearly

Thanks
 

Thanks for your responses! Glad you liked it. We've just started to put all these ideas together on a new blog..

Beautiful! Can you do this with any border punch?

No, unfortunately most border punches have more than 1 shape in a line and so don't go round corners to form a circle. All the Tonic Studios border punches have one cutting shape as you can see in the photos above. Hope this helps,
Ruth :)
