Take a Paper Serviette and Create Something Amazing - November 2019

Another fun craft idea is to use paper serviettes to decorate cards or fabric.  First, peel off the layers off a serviette (usually three including the picture layer) and keep the picture side. Then cut a piece of Gladwrap to the same size. Place your cardboard, material or whatever you wish to have the picture from the serviette on, then a layer of glad wrap, then the serviette right side up, then baking paper to protect the napkin. Using a hot, dry iron, gently iron over the baking paper, pressing lightly, until the image is stuck to the card or fabric. You end up with a lovely card, or placemat or even a wall plaque for a child's room if you use Disney printed napkins.

Editor's note: the Cheapskates card gang used this technique at the first retreat, about four years ago now, and we were all thrilled with the finished cards. I love the idea of using Disney or other child-themed serviettes to make placemats. You could do a set of placemats with matching coasters and add some serviettes - perfect for setting a birthday table. They'd make having a new table setting for Christmas dinner inexpensive too. Or imagine using pretty florals or tea cups to create a table setting for a high tea! The results are limited only by the variety of paper serviettes you have in your stash.  Cath
