Hallmark actually sells gift wrap that’s similar(-ish) to the wallpaper.

If that link doesn’t work, it’s their “Garden Safari” collection. I prefer the green & white gift wrap, without the blue flowers.

I have that wallpaper! For us folks in the US, you can buy it through anthropologie.

OH MY GOSH! SO COOL! I loved to make all kinds of things with doilys when I was little!
And…teal seems to be becoming a huge color trend as well!

I actually was JUST doing this same thing over the weekend (crazy timing) and my table is wobbly. I used four 28″ tapered legs, the straight brackets, and a 40″x23″ Ikea table top. Anyone have a suggestion on making it sturdy? I’ve used the short version of those legs before without wobbles. The table top is very light, but I doubt that would make much difference. Help!! Thanks!

Cool idea! And I guess you could really change it from a doily to anything you might want stenciled there — outline of a dog, pattern cut out on paper, etc.
