Does a crafter/artist/quilter/sewer ever get away from creating? Even if you are away from all your stashes of products, the mind is still buzzing away on new ideas and projects to work on.
A few weeks ago, I was work-cationing (working while on vacation, with emphasis on working). My friend Brenda Pinnick visited for a few days, which lead our brainstorming on craft projects we loved creating. Since we didn’t have our product stashes with us, we visited local craft stores to pick up a few suppies.
We detoured by Tuesday Morning were we found a fabulous selection of paper napkins. Hummmmm, there are so many uses for paper napkins other than the normal wiping of hands and decoupaging heads the list. After buying a bottle of Mod Podge, we were set.
I have previously painted the legs of this coffee table a light apple green and thought the top would look great with flowers. My napkin selection included a package of red poppy shaped napkins, perfect for my project.
First, I cut the flowers and arranged 5 down the center of the table. I painted Mod Podge to the back of the flowers to glue them to the table. After the flowers dried on the table, I added several coats of Mod Podge to the top to seal the flowers, allowing drying time between each coat of Mod Podge.
After the Mod Podge dried, I painted a leaf to each flower.
Since red poppies have always been one of my favorite flowers, I’m excited that I can enjoy them on the table for years to come.
Look around and if you have a table or other items that has gotten stale, think decoupage with fun prints.
Have a great craft day,
Phyllis
