Decoupaging with napkins is an easy DIY project that doesn’t require any special tools.

It can be a great activity for kids or an opportunity to upgrade any article you want: A jar, A vase, A candle-holder or A box.

You can buy a cheap, simple jar for example and in a short time and not so much effort- make it a beautiful, decorated jar.

Step 1: Materials Needed for Decoupaging With Napkins

1. Decorated napkin. (You can buy it at the supermarket\ party shop \ art shop).

2. The article you would like to decorate- A jar, vase, box, etc.

3. Scissors.

4. Glue (It could be napkins glue\glass glue if you do it on glass\wood glue if you decorate wood).

5. Brush.

Step 2: Preparing Decoupage Napkins

Separate all layers of the napkin until you have just one layer. Then, keep the top layer (the one with the decorations on it).

Notice: some napkins will have 2 or 3 layers- make sure you stay only with the top layer, it's crucial.

Brush a small amount of glue on the whole article.

Notice: Don’t put too much glue- the decoupage is very thin and when doing the next step, it can be ripped.

Slowly smooth the napkin over the article- Some people like the texture of a few creases but the main idea is to keep napkin as stretched as we can.

When you get to where the edges meet- Cut off the extra napkin (Try not to get too much overlap).
If you have extra napkin on the top, just cut it off and apply some glue to secure it down.

Apply one more layer of glue over the decoupage you just placed on the article.

Wait for two hours until it dries.
