Illustrated Craft Tutorial - Paper Napkin Applique or Decoupage with Paper Napkins Try this technique on all sorts of items made of wood, ceramic, glass, terracotta, tiles, cardboard, metal, etc... When doing paper napkin applique on shiny and smooth surfaces, it may be necessary to prime the surface first to make it rough enough for the napkins to adhere to it.     1. Base coat the item to be decorated with a light color of acrylic paint and let it dry. 2. Tear out the desired design from your paper napkin or cut your motif exactly out and remove the bottom layers. 3. Dot a couple of drops of glue on to the item to be decorated and place the napkin on the item and using a soft paint brush, paint applique glue over the napkin. Start from the center and work your way out to the outer edges. Try to work smooth and avoid ripping the napkin. 4. Let the napkin dry and repeat if necessary on the other side of the item. More pieces may be required, depending on what you are decorating. 5. Once all the napkin pieces are dry, use a paint similar to that of the napkin, and sponge the paint onto the empty spaces in between the napkins.   More Tutorials for Miscellaneous Crafts Lavender Scent Wand Tutorial Hay Decorations Mosaic Tutorial How to Create Small Stamps for Paper Crafts Tutorial - How to Needle Felt a Shape Using Cookie Cutters Tutorial - How to Needle Felt on a Styrofoam (Polystyrene) Figure How to Decoupage and Emboss on Metal Paper Napkin Applique or Decoupage How to Emboss on Metal Sheets How to Make a Simple Bow Wreath making Plaster of Paris Castings 3-D Acrylic Ball Decorations Modelling Clay for 3-D Figures Window Cling - Window Color/ Glass Design Paints Creating Fun Foam Stamps Potpourri Sachet Home Spring Crafts and Easter Crafts Summer Crafts Autumn Crafts Christmas Crafts and Winter Crafts Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards Paper Crafts Wood Crafts General Crafts Kids Crafts Fabric and Sewing Crafts Valentine Crafts Easter Bunny Crafts Easter Chick Crafts St. Patrick’s Day Mother’s Day Crafts Maritime Crafts Patriotic Crafts Pumpkin Crafts Halloween Crafts Leaf Crafts Thanksgiving Crafts Snowman Crafts Santa Claus Crafts Gingerbread Crafts Christmas Projects Artist Trading Cards Tags Kids Rainy Day Crafts Paper Craft Tips Jewelry Crafts Recycling Crafts Nature Crafts Craft Recipes Clay Pot Crafts Fuse Beads Crafts Felt Crafts Craft Patterns Craft Tutorials Picture Gallery Newsletter Sitemap Links Contact   Linking: Please feel free to link to www.Craftideas.info or any of the projects found on this website.
