DIY Simple and FUN Picnic Napkins

By Admin on July 5, 2013 in Home Decor

Picnics are such a great way to connect with family and friends. From creating the yummy contents in the basket to making the decorations for the outing, it is just good old fun! While some people spend lots of time on the meal in the basket, others prefer to spend time creating the parts of the picnic that create the atmosphere.

Here are some REALLY simple napkins that you can make from any fabric scraps (including outgrown clothing, towels, sheets or pillowcases) in a matter of minutes. You will need the fabric, pinking shears (I love Fiskars), buttons and embroidery floss (Coats and Clark for me). They are really fun to make out of bright colored towels for kids and holidays if you are looking for a twist on this simply button project.

Cut the fabric into 16 x 16: inch squares. Pick a corner for each and add a few stitched on buttons. Voila! You have adorable, creative and festive picnic napkins.

If you prefer, you can fold them in squares and make cocktail napkins.

If you love the festive RED picnic basket, place card pots and tall jar votive, check out my blog to find out how I got them such an awesome color. (hint: Krylon).

Happy Creating with Buttons,
