When I converted a changing table into an outdoor bar,\u00a0<\/a>I included some cloth napkins that I made. \u00a0They were super easy, so I \u00a0thought I would show you so you can get creative and make your own.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I bought this cute summery fabric at Hobby Lobby. \u00a0I have been impressed with the fun fabric they have had lately. \u00a0 \u00a0I must do a disclaimer. \u00a0I am not by any means a seamstress, and this is a quick way without measuring and getting things exactly straight. \u00a0Feel free to add that step when you make them yourself!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/h3>\n

I bought a yard of fabric and made four dinner-size napkins, and I still have enough remaining to make some cocktail napkins. \u00a0For the first step, I took a cloth napkin I already owned and used it as my pattern. \u00a0I put it on top of the fabric and cut around it leaving a little more than an inch for the hem.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Instead of pinning everything down, I used some adhesive strips that I had on hand. \u00a0First, I ironed them onto the fabric.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

After it cooled, which did not take long, \u00a0I removed the paper and then folded down the edge of the fabric and ironed again. \u00a0This was a very fast process.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is what it looked like after the edges were all glued down with the adhesive strips. \u00a0Next up came the sewing.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/h3>\n

This step was faster than I thought. \u00a0Half the battle with me is getting the thread in the right place and getting set up. \u00a0I used the white thread I had already set up from another project, so it was my foot to the pedal and away I went.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Like I said, do not look at the line that may or may not be straight.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/h3>\n

This was super easy and did not cost much at all. \u00a0I plan to make more of my own cloth napkins. \u00a0We seldom use paper napkins around here. \u00a0Cloth napkins are easier on the environment, and they can make a plain meal a little more special. \u00a0Now I’m off to set a fun table with these cute things.<\/h3>\n
