Circular doily made with beige thread. The outer edge of the doily features a scalloped design, while the next layer features many holes. The layer inside this one has smaller holes, and the middle of the doily resembles a flower with a little hole in the middle. The center is then solid, and the petals of the flower connect to form triangles.

Doilies are usually used for funiture protection, flower arrangement, and food service and etiquette. They are also decoration.
