DIY hand painted napkins tutorial!

 Happy Sunday Morning to you! A lot of you gals are anxious to see how I did these pretty hand painted napkins! I have said it before, I am NO PICASSO!

Stencils are so easy to work with and come in such great patterns anyone can achieve a hand painted custom look when using them.

I will show you the step by step.   Pardon some of the pics, blurry, as I did this early this morning.

 These dishes were my inspiration.  I just happened to have the same stencil pattern on hand that I picked up at hobby lobby.

 Just a close up.
 One nice thing I have found that stenciling on fabric is so simple and there are
 No RUNS.

Start with a plain white napkin, and fold it over on each side length wise.

I did actually press the ones I did already, but this is just a quickie to show you.

Take your stencil and place it over the napkin.  Don't worry if it does not cover the entire napkin.

I then taped it down on each side.

As I started the stenciling process I did hold the stencil down lightly in place, as you can see there are some gaps here.  However, once you start rolling, it does not matter....

I love my little stencil roller..I also picked one up from Hobby lobby.
I use it all the time.

Start rolling away....

For the little blue flowers...

And that is that.  I did add a personalized letter Monogram on mine.  Can't wait to share with you my table setting soon.

Hand painted napkins

Happy Friday Everyone!

Hand painted napkins are so pretty, and so easy to make your self.

I have a stack of white linen napkins, that were given to me.  I thought at the time not sure what I will do with them, but sure I will take them.

I have been busy cleaning and getting ready for a crazy week ahead.  It is both Alex and

 and Mike's Birthday's.  Alex is having the 70's party, and  I plan on making Mike a nice dinner.

 It is so nice when something pops in your head, and you have everything you need on hand.

These were very quick and easy to do, and I will show you soon.
Basically, stencil, paint of your color choice, plain white napkins, and a small stencil roller.

Can you see what I plan on doing soon? Can't wait to share with you these gorgeous new dishes.

 BTW, I went back and got just one MORE featherhead.... A Blazin hot RED one!

Did you know these things are in HOT demand right now? Fisherman apparently are very angry with the hair industry.
 OH well, you can take me fishin and dunk my head a few times.
