So a while back while I was thrifting I came across these two matching cloth napkins for a mere 25 cents and I scooped them up thinking I could use them for something down the road. I thought they had a pretty pattern and I liked that they were a set. Originally I was thinking of making a pillow out of them but I decided to keep them napkins. One thing I've been wanting to do a lot more lately is go on picnics. So I designated these my new picnic napkins because they are reusable and large enough that they make a good placemat too. I added these handmade appliques to personalize them and give them a little extra something. Here is how I did it...
SUPPLIES:
Cloth napkins, felt in three colors, needle, thread, scissors, marker, and hot glue or fabric glue (not pictured).
DIRECTIONS:
Start by making a heart stencil. I cut this one out of pink felt and used it as a stencil so the hearts would be the same size. Then lay your heart on to one of the other felt colors you chose and cut a second heart so that its a little larger than the first one.
Next, use your marker to write out "Madame" and "Monsieur", you could also do something cute like "Je Taime" and "Amour" or maybe "Yummy" and "Delicious", you can use your imagination for this part...and then use your needle and thread to embroider over the words. Lastly, use your glue to adhere them to the napkins.
Sooo Cute! I can't wait to go on a picnic date with someone special. <3 <3 <3
