Equipment

  • pencil
  • Paintbrush
  • Scissors

Materials

  • Cotton fabric or Napkins
  • Colored Elmer's Glue
  • Craft or Fabric Paint
  • Wooden dowel or rod
  • Ribbon or wire

Instructions

  • Trace a circle of leaves with a marking pencil and use the outlines as a guide making a simple pattern.
  • Use colored glue to go over the outlined leaves. Then add some veins, and a few swirls and dots.
  • Let the glue dry completely. It will turn white and feel dry to the touch.
  • Then paint over the entire piece with craft or fabric paint.
  • Next, you can rinse out the paint in the sink, or let it sit longer for a more saturated look.
  • To hang, slip a dowel rod into the hem of the napkin and attach a ribbon or twine.
