Pull the whole Mother's Day brunch together with this fresh and pretty DIY place setting.

  1. You can buy the paper doilies from a discount or craft store and you can actually paint them with any acrylic paint. Or, we found these great vintage cloth doilies from the antique market; you may even have some around your home!
  2. We used fabric dye to add color to our table setting and dye these doilies.
  3. The larger doily will be placed under each dinner plate and the smaller doily will be placed on the dinner plate, so the salad plate sits on top doily.
  4. Add fresh flowers such as tulips or daffodils to each individual place setting.
