I love working with napkins! I do have a tip for separating the layers ….use two tiny pieces of washy tape( it won’t tear your napkin cause it’s not as sticky as other tapes) one on the right side of the napkin and the other on the white layer..repeat till all layers are separated. Hope that helps…thanks for the opportunity to win some napkins!!❤❤

And put the tape in the middle of the napkin, avoiding the embossed “dots” on the edges that are there for the purpose of holding the layers together. Alternatively, you can use a credit card to smooth out those bumps and then you can separate the layers easily. Thanks for another great video!

I like using napkins even though they are fragile. I've found some really pretty ones at Dollar Tree before. One lady I've watched separates her napkin layers by putting the corner edge just to where the inside of her lips catches it and when you open your mouth it pulls apart the layers. I've tried it and it works. I used to make and sell jewelry and would use napkins and mod podge to cover the plain little white boxes I put the jewelry in when shipping to customers. Tied with a narrow satin ribbon it made a nice presentation. And I would love to be in the drawing, I especially love the peacock napkin, they are my favorite birds.

Such wonderful soundtrack! That crinkling sound is so satisfying! 🎵🎶🎼 I assure you: where I live the napkins in the shops are absolutely hideous 😂! There are only those with birthday themes (which always say “happy birthday”) and Christmas motifs (which I hate). Then there are regular napkins with colours: red, blue, green, etc, and that’s it. No flowers or other great motifs. You have great ideas and these papers look amazing 💙♥️🩷💜🩵💛🩶❤️🤎🧡💚

Alexandra, that is interesting about the bad napkin selection. I have found some of my favourites from the supermarket! Maybe someday you will find the magic shop with the not hideous napkins! 😺😺😺😺😺😺

Great suggestion! We don't have there where I live but I have visited them when I see my son in the states and that is exactly the sort of place to look. Thanks for comparing notes. Kelly

I am really enjoying your channel. I especially love your travel books. I made one for a 10 day visit to Paris last spring. Journaling and collaging in it, was an integral part of the trip. Hoping to win the napkins, thanks!

I use a glue stick to separate my napkins. Just get your glue stick and on the other hand rub a finger to put glue on it and put your finger on one side of the napkin Place the glue stick on the other side and they separate easily. I've found this the best way and it's quick. It works 99% of the time, hope this helps. Hi from Australia

I loved this tutorial! I cant wait to yse this idea. The cherry blossoms napkin is gorgeous as well as the peacock! Have you tried placing dried flowers in between the laters of napkin? I think that would look amazing!

Hi there. Here's the deal, I DID trying the dried flowers and maybe I did something wrong but it did not give me the drama or prettiness I thought it would. Let me know if it works for you and how it did.
