10 on the 10th - Easter Napkins...and a GIVEAWAY!


Here is an easy craft for your spring dinner table:

I bought 2 white napkins at our local dollar store for 2/$1.00.....


....and I painted each one with a bunny....


....using acrylic paints....


....once acrylic paints dry on cotton fabric...


...the paint will adhere well to the fibers and will not wash out - think "painter's pants"!  


The bunny painted on the napkins was inspired by Jenna @ The Painted Apron....


....who is a very talented artist!  This bunny is quickly painted with 3 strokes and a few dabs for a tail, with a few polka dots!


The napkins can be tucked into napkin rings (these are both from the 1920's, both engraved with the date), 


....and one has initials engraved on the backside!


OR
you can tuck the napkins into a water glass....


...or lay them flat:


They are machine washable and only cost 50 cents and a few dabs of paint to create - easy peasy!


If you would like a chance to win these napkins...leave me a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner on the 15th!

  3. Absolutely adorable napkins. Reminds me so much of doing napkins and placemats with my precious gram when she was with us. We would sit and make them back then with iron on stencils and embroidery thread and we would drink coffee. She made me homemade peanut butter fudge. We would sit together and talk and sew. I miss her so much. Thank you for the memory. Your napkins are beautiful. The napkin rings are gorgeous and look so pretty with those napkins
