Napkin technique: step by step instructions

The napkins should first be cut or torn to the correct size so that they do not wrinkle when glued. Or cut out the desired motif that you would like to stick on.

Carefully remove the top layer from the napkin. While the rest of the napkins are no longer needed, because you now continue working with the top layer of napkins.

Now use a flat brush to prime the object you want to work on with light acrylic paint. The surface should be as smooth and light as possible, this is the only way the motif of the napkin will really come into its own later.

Allow the brushed item to dry thoroughly.

Now you can stick the napkin motif on the dried item. To do this, brush napkin glue onto the surface to be decorated and let it dry briefly.

Place the napkin motif on the adhesive layer and carefully press it smooth with a flat brush.

Since the napkin can hardly be moved afterwards, you should work extremely precisely. If bubbles appear, use the brush to carefully spread them out to the edge.

Now let your most creative work of art dry.

Drying is important so that no cracks occur in the napkin during further processing.

Paint your artwork with the glued-on napkin completely using napkin glue. The bristle brush is best suited for this.

Now you can place decorative elements as desired on the still wet napkin glue.

Finally, let everything dry thoroughly.

I hope you have a lot of fun with your new work of art.
