DIY Painted Leaf Napkins

These holiday months always having me want to DIY. I usually see things in stores and think…”I could totally make that” and spend much less money. And, I have a need to create things. It’s just part of my DNA. One of my favorite things to DIY is Holiday decor. Whether is wreaths or pretty pumpkins or even ornaments for the Christmas tree, I love to add to my decor every year with some fun craft projects. Even though we won’t be setting a huge Thanksgiving table this year, I thought it would still be a fun opportunity to come up with some new ideas for a Thanksgiving tablescape. I normally use white napkins because they go with every holiday and I can add different plates, runner or decor to bring in whatever theme I am trying to accomplish. I decided to take my cloth napkin game up this year and try this super easy way of adding a beautiful fall touch to your table this month.

Cloth Napkins // Paint // Paint Brush

Supplies:

Leaves …head outside and gather up some of those leaves that are falling off the trees right now!

Paint – any color! I used Black, because I am sticking with my class B&W theme.

Set of White Napkins

Instructions:

STEP 1: Spread your napkin out on a flat surface. You may want to iron or steam them if they are wrinkled.

STEP 2: Take your leaf and paint one side of it with paint.

STEP 3: Stamp your leaf onto your napkins in a desired pattern. You will need to keep reapplying paint with each stamp.

I actually felt silly typing out these directions because it is so ridiculously easy to take you plain white napkins and turn them into beautiful custom napkins for fall.
