A white napkin ply recycle using water, watercolors, stencils and foam stamps. Napkins retain vibrant colors making them an excellent base for a variety of painting and stamping techniques. They are surprisingly strong and make great collage fodder.

Tips:

• Use a sheet of copy paper or book page so you can get two sets of painty papers.
• Let pages dry naturally to achieve a better second print but if too wet you’ll lose your design.
• Drier or dry napkin works best for stenciling. Be gentle with your blending brush.
• Use one ply for clean-up and it will collect a rainbow of colors.

Try some hand painted designs or painting over simple napkin designs.

Napkins are a great material for collage fodder. They are slightly translucent, lightweight and adhere easily for collage work or other paper crafting.

Happy paper crafting!
