I wanted to do a project with some leftover fabric I had laying around. I decided instead of plain linen napkins I’d kick it up with some red stripes.what you’ll need:

• fabric
• painter’s tape
• multi surface craft paint
• foam brush
• scissors

(all things can be found at your local craft store) 

how to make it:

Begin by measuring your fabric and cutting out your napkins. I had two yards of linen fabric that I cut into eight 17×15 pieces. To achieve the frayed look on the edges, I threw the fabric into the dryer for 15 minutes. Next lay fabric on a flat sturdy surface that you don’t mind getting messy (the paint can bleed through the fabric) such as a piece of cardboard or foam board. If there are wrinkles, you may want to iron your fabric first. Tape the corners of the fabric onto the cardboard. Pull gently on the fabric before taping so there are no creases or bubbles. Then tape off the area you want to paint. I chose simple stripes. With the foam brush apply the paint until you have a consistent coating. I used Martha Stewart Crafts multi-surface satin acrylic craft paint in habanero. Allow time to dry before removing tape. Optional: To keep fabric from further fraying sew a seam around the edges. Wash napkins before use. Then set the table!The name tags were simple. All it took was brown kraft paper tags, an alphabet stamp set and an ink pad. I use the Martha Stewart Crafts custom stamp setting kit. Have fun and enjoy!
