Instructions:
This is the napkin that was chosen for this project. It is important to choose paper napkins with small motifs or all over motifs.
1. First remove the top layer of the napkin. The top layer is the piece you will be keeping. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions of the laminating machine. For the machine used for this project, the napkin layer then gets placed inside of the laminating sheet. Press out all of the wrinkles while you can. Turn on the machine and wait for the signal to begin. With the machine used for this project, the closed side gets then entered into the slot and the machine then pulls the sheet through. The image here shows the laminated napkin.
2. Measure your glass circumference and cut the napkin to size plus one centimeter or 1/4 inch overlap in the length. One napkin was enough for both glasses in this case.
3. Place double-sided sticky tape onto one of the short ends of each of your covers. Pull the protective paper away.
4. Place the non sticky side onto the glass and wrap the cover around the glass. Once you reach the other end, make sure the cover is sitting tight enough around the glass without being too tight (because you will want to be able to remove it again when you no longer need it). It is important to stick the cover to the cover and not the glass.
5. The lamination gives the cover a shiny look as if it is glass itself.
*** If you do not have a laminating machine, then you can use a clear one sided sticky foil or contact paper as an alternative. Cut it larger than the size of the napkin piece you are using in case you don’t get the napkin straight on it, it won’t matter. Then remove the protective paper. Place the piece then on the table with the sticky side up and then place the napkin onto the piece with the pretty side up and then gently stick the napkin slowly onto the foil, trying to avoid wrinkles during the process. Cut then the piece to the needed size plus one centimeter or 1/4 inch overlap.
