Lately I've been addicted to collecting cute tea towels and cloth napkins, mostly from Etsy.com. They are fun to collect and useful for food photography and entertaining! They're also really easy to make at home. Here's how I made two cute cloth napkins:
The stamping process is simple. I use the same method from this DIY project. I simply cut shapes from craft foam, brush paint on and stamp it onto the cloth napkins. The larger the shape, the quicker the process!
Since I use fabric paint these napkins are totally washing machine friendly. They are reusable, so they save paper towels too.
I can't wait to share my new kitchen with you. It's about halfway finished. Yesterday we had a new countertop installed, and it's so pretty! I'm anxiously awaiting a mint green fridge... it should be here soon! I'm having fun putting all the details together. xoxo. Elsie
How lovely!
Best ideas here...

I love the polka dots! I'm definitely going to try this soon. I think they'd make a great Christmas gift too.

Mint green is my absolute favorite color! So jealous. These are great, can't wait to make a cool stamp for them.

Cant wait to see the kitchen, Tres exciting!

Stamp and fabric paint are always a nice to create own fabric pattern. Those cloth napkin are added some personal touch. Great idea!

I'm curious as to how long the fabric paint lasts after washes? I am vamping up my kitchen so may give this a go.

I seriously love the stamping items you make. I tried it too but I still haven't found the right fabric paint! x
