Instructions:

1. If cutting doily shapes from a larger crochet piece, apply adhesive along design lines. Smooth glue line with finger. Let dry completely.
   
   
    
2. Cut out along glue line. (For the bottom edge of my shorts, I cut a strip from a doily placemat.)
   
   
    
3. Apply line of glue along edge of doily.
   
   
    
4. Place piece of wax paper inside shorts. Glue doily in place along inside bottom edge of shorts. Repeat for both sides.
   
   
    
5. For the faux belt effect, apply adhesive along design lines. Smooth glue line with finger. Let dry completely. Cut out half doilies.
   
   
    
6. Glue in place along belt line.
   
   
    
7. Glue additional doilies and crochet shapes in place where desired in pockets or on outside front and back of shorts.
