A napkin can be used to decorate wood, ceramics, glass and other surfaces. This material is inexpensive and very popular, while it has the properties necessary for an excellent result. Usually use the upper layer (on which the drawing is located) a three -layer cloth. Due to the subtlety of this layer, it will not need to be covered with a large amount of varnish, two layers will be enough. Depending on the color of the decorated surface, the perception of a napkin motive will also change – on a light surface, a napkin will “shine”, and on the dark one will “play” contrasting details. To get to work with a napkin, you need to spend a certain time, then it will not break, the folds will not appear.

You can choose for decoupage napkins for any holiday. This will make original gifts with your own hands. You can find postcards for the New Year, Easter, Christmas, Birthday, Halloween, Valentine Day, Wedding and other holidays.

In order to prepare a napkin for work, you need to begin to decide whether you need the entire motive or only part. It is best to first cut out the necessary part of the drawing, and then spread this part of the napkin (with this order of action, the likelihood is less likely to tear).

If there are problems during separation, you can slightly lubricate your fingers with glue to remove two layers that you do not need.

The surface you are going to decorate must be prepared in advance. If the surface is ready, you can start. For gluing napkins for decoupage, you can use special glue or PVA glue. There are also a number of means that can be used instead of glue.

First, apply a small amount of glue to the part of the surface where the pattern will be located. When you attach the motive to the surface, it will be fixed in the right position. Next, apply glue from the center of the napkin motive to the edges, gently straightening the folds with a brush. After the product is dry, it will need to be covered with acrylic varnish.
