A variety of napkin crafts are very popular today. For example, flowers created from them can decorate your kitchen or living room. In addition, making them will not be a huge task. All you need is a little patience and desire.

Cooking crafts from napkins. Create a peony

You will need the following materials:

• multi-colored paper or napkins in several colors;
• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• stapler;
• felt pen or marker;
• cocktail straw;
• double sided tape;
• paper glue.

Start making crafts from napkins

Prepare some regular napkins in several colors. I advise you to take napkins in bright colors - red, pink, yellow, lilac, burgundy, fuchsia, white. Place products of the same color in a stack exactly on top of each other. With the help of a clerical knife, you can cut a circle from the entire stack at once. If there is no knife, then you will have to first cut out one circle on one napkin with scissors, then trace the outline on each subsequent one separately. If you want to give a flowerfor a more beautiful look, you can paint over the ends of the stack with a felt-tip pen in a contrasting color. Now fasten all the napkins in the center with a stapler or pin. If you make additional notches along the edges, the flower will look more luxurious. Separate each layer of the stack one by one, lift and squeeze with your hands.

Attach the bud to the stem

You can use a green cocktail straw as a stem. Glue the bottom of the bud to the stick with double-sided tape. Such flowers will look great in a vase decorated in such a way as decoupage from napkins.

Decoupage technique for a vase or flowerpot for indoor flowers

Vase decoupage is another type of napkin craft. To do this, take a product with a beautiful pattern. Separate the top thin layer from the rest. You only need it. You can cut out the applique, or you can leave the napkin whole, depending on what kind of pattern you want to end up with. Put the picture on the file with the front side. Next, carefully water the napkin with water or spray the water evenly with a spray bottle or soak it with a wet sponge. You need enough water so that the napkin practically floats in a puddle. Straighten it so that there are no wrinkles. This is easy to do, as the napkin is very wet and does not tear. Carefully tilt the file and drain the water. Apply it to the flowerpot, previously lubricated with PVA glue. Smooth the appliqué with your hands or a small roller. Very, very slowly and carefully remove the file by the corner, leaving only a napkin on the surface. With your fingers (if the drawing is small) or with the whole palm (if large), you expel water and air bubbles from under the layer of paper. It may happen that the drawing does not come off the file. It all depends on the production of paper napkins. Therefore, you must act very carefully so as not to tear the product. Were you able to separate the file from the napkin? Fine! Now cover the vase with a layer of glue diluted with water. Despite the fact that this process is described for a long time, in fact it takes no more than 10 minutes.

Good luck in your new endeavors!
