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.
