Candle Light and Holly Doily and Mini Doily: A Free Crochet Pattern

NOTE: The Candle Light and Holly Doily and Mini Doily pattern set was the very first Christmas design that I self-published, almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was asked to use a product called Liquid Beadz on the leaves. This product just added a beaded effect to the leaves, but I think they are just as lovely without it. If you cannot find it, don't worry, it is completely optional.
There are two patterns in this set, a Doily and Mini Doily. The photo below shows the Doily surrounded by several Mini Doilies. It is a very versatile design, as you can make as many of each size as you need to create your own candle light display.
I am pleased to be able to offer this design to you as a free pattern. It has always been one of my favorites, and I hope you will enjoy it. Merry Christmas!!!

For Handle, with dk. brown ch 41, sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch across. Fasten off.

Glue Straw to end of Handle as shown in photo.

Finishing and Assembly Notes: 

When gluing items, it is helpful to place a drop of glue on the tip of a toothpick; use the toothpick to precisely apply glue to desired spot. Use photos as a guide to positioning all pieces.  I have also found it helpful to make an assembly board by covering a sturdy sheet of cardboard with clear plastic wrap.   Glue will not adhere to the plastic wrap, and items can be assembled and left on it to dry. After items have been starched and dried, I move them from the blocking surface to the assembly board for gluing and final assembly.  

1: Place Head, Bodice and Skirt on blocking surface (I use a large sheet of cardboard covered with white fabric.) Spray with starch. Shape Skirt and Bodice Trim. Allow to dry.  

2: Glue Hair Strands to Head. Allow to dry.

3: Place Hat on Head and shape as desired. Glue Hat to Head. Allow to dry.

4: Glue Sleeves under Bodice Trim. Glue Hands to ends of Sleeves

5: Place Background on blocking surface. Place assembled Celeste on Background. Shape as shown in photo,  spray with starch and allow to dry.  

6: Glue Celeste to Background. Allow to dry.  

7: Glue Broom to Celeste as shown in photo, curling Handle as shown. Allow to dry.

Finishing and Assembly Notes: 
When gluing items, it is helpful to place a drop of glue on the tip of a toothpick; use the toothpick to precisely apply glue to desired spot. Use photos as a guide to positioning all pieces.  I have also found it helpful to make an assembly board by covering a sturdy sheet of cardboard with clear plastic wrap.   Glue will not adhere to the plastic wrap, and items can be assembled and left on it to dry. After items have been starched and dried, I move them from the blocking surface to the assembly board for gluing and final assembly.  

1: For each Rose, roll petals to form a rose shape. Glue base of Rose to hold petals in place. Allow to dry. 
2: Glue one set of Leaves to base of each Rose.  
3: Place Head, Bodice and Skirt on blocking surface (I use a large sheet of cardboard covered with white fabric.) Spray with starch. Shape Skirt and Bodice Ruffle. Allow to dry.  
4: Glue Hair to Head. Allow to dry. 
5: Glue Arms under Bodice Ruffle. Place Fan over Head and glue in place. Shape Arms and glue hands to hold in place. 
6: Place Background on blocking surface. Place assembled Belle on Background. Shape as shown in photo,  spray with starch and allow to dry.  
7: Glue Belle to Background. Allow to dry.  
8: Glue one Rose and one set of Leaves to each pineapple point as shown. Glue remaining Rose and set of Leaves to Belle’s hand. Allow to dry.
