Here's an easy (and environmentally friendly!) way to make your table festive - embellished cloth napkins.
Supplies:
- Cloth napkins
- Iron-on printer transfer sheets
- Computer/printer
- Fun font (there are lots of great free downloads, such as here, here, and here).
- Iron
All you need to do is design a little phrase/word image with your font - I went with "merry christmas to all"; but you could do any holiday-related words (peace, love, joy, happy holidays, etc.). Then duplicate so that you have one for each napkin, and print. (I practiced printing on regular paper first to make sure I liked the size/color before using up my special iron on sheets.)
fonts from hereI have all white dishes, so I love to put colored/seasonal serving dishes, placemats, and napkins with them. Here's my holiday table so far:
The napkins are from Target; the 4-packs were on sale for about $6. And the print/iron on sheets are from Michael's, also $6ish I think, but less with a 40% off coupon, of course. These could be a fun little gift, maybe for a hostess.
Eeep! I'm so happy I found your site. I'm a craft fiend and love seeing other ideas. Can't wait to see what's next.
