[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

These all turned out absolutely gorgeous. I love the blue and white theme for Christmas.

[@BeckyM154]

I love the blue and white theme.

[@DeeLuquetteFamularo]

I am so glad you took the time to cut down the napkin into tiny floral pieces, because it truly made these special!! Loved it ALL!!

[@BarbaraDClark]

All of your diys turned out beautifully, as always! Love what you did with ornaments! They are gorgeous! I love your wooden pieces. They are so pretty! When I apply napkins, tissue paper, paper, or fabric, I apple the mod podge, let it dry completely! And then I grab a piece of parchment paper, put it on top of your mod pode surface, then iron your paper, ect.. No wrinkles!😊 Your mini nutcrackers are adorable! Your beaded garland turned out so beautiful! It's special that you & your daughter made it together!🥰 As always, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️😊🇺🇲🎄

The first ornaments, the white ones you made with my favorite, but everything was great and it’s good to see crafting again

[@dafneebermudez2494]

Hello there. Love that you resumed preparing DIYs. Those napkins are so delicate and can be used to decorate in many seasons. Last Christmas I tried a new to me technique. I used mod podge (MP) on a small canvas to cover the canvas with my most priced delicate antique design napkins. What I did different was to apply MP to the canvas and let it slightly dry until it was just tacky before applying my very thin layer of napkin. It was a game changer. Minimal to no crinkling. In some areas I was able to lift and reposition before pressing down. I place my hand in a sandwich bag before pressing and that also gives me a lot better control. [My experience with plastic seran wrap was that it gets too wet and the crinkles in the plastic would lift the napkin.] I let it fully dry then I did my top layer of MP. I was in disbelieve how perfect it turned out. Honestly, it looked painted on. Hope to see you try it sometime. I know it requires a little more time but the result was worth it for me.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Thanks for the tips! Will have to try it out. ☺️

[@ecbrent2]

Have you tried the iron method? That works perfectly every time. It's my favorite way.

[@dafneebermudez2494]

The iron method works amazingly well. Probably better than anything else on flat or larger surfaces. Let the MP completely dry. Apply napkin and cover with parchment paper, then iron to reactivate MP. It's become my favorite too when rambunctious little hands are not around.

[@marlenealcombright2327]

The iron method is great ,but she used canvas so I myself am not sure that method works ,but if you do know please let us know ty

[@marlenealcombright2327]

Also I started using a sandwich bag with my hand in it last year and I didn't even know anyone else does this! works pretty well .....the warmth of your hand almost acts as an iron!

[@njb1814]

Hi Yami! Great ideas! Everything turned out beautifully! Love those napkins, I can see why you wanted to use them for some crafts. They really made a huge impact on all the things you did! Great job, and thanks for sharing!❤

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you liked these 🎄

[@njb1814]

@@TheLatinaNextDoor you're very welcome🥰

[@patskelton4202]

I Love them all , but the first white bulbs were my favorite! I really loved the Sweet Helper helping you ! I Always love doing crafts with my Daughters and the Grandkids when they came along! ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

[@diybeautyonpurpose]

Bellos todos, Yami! Love the bead garland...it is stunning! Hugs ❤

[@denisetarabori553]

Because you chose such a classic design and color of the napkins, how could just one of these diys be my favorite. They all are!! ❤

[@IrishAnnie]

Those are so pretty and delicate!

[@nettajar1938]

For me, it's a tie between the ornaments and the house/trees 💜💜💜💜💜

[@tracewalker8772]

I love the Christmas trees and house with the napkin!! So smart to use an embroidery needle to string the beads! I can’t believe you put napkin flowers onto the beads wow that’s pretty extra Yami 🤣😯good job!!!💕💕💕💕

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Yeah about halfway in I was like “what was I thinking?” 🤣🤣🤣

[@dorothytackett9943]

I liked the garland, although they were all great. Wonderful having your daughter help.

[@mbstudio6830]

That garland looked like a lot of work, but man the results were beautiful! Totally worth the time. I love the blue and white pattern of the napkins you used too!

[@toodymouse]

These are all beautiful and I love the idea of coordinating the ornaments by using the same napkins!

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Glad you like them! 🥰

[@pennyjenkins7519]

I like all of your DIYs I think it's very creative it was good seeing you back on the DIY side

[@BrendaPhilyaw]

You must have the patience of Job. All of them are beautiful! The houses are my favorite. TFS Nana Brenda😊

[@jillcochran9794]

Once, you get started back, you’ll remember everything! One of my favorite DIYers!!

[@dianakimball5278]

I really liked the napkin covered ornament. It looks very high end, at least to me.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Thank you! I’m so happy you liked them

[@IrishAnnie]

Two years ago I made the same ceramic ornaments from Hobby lobby with sea shell napkins. I made a coastal tree and even gave some ornaments as gifts!

[@kimberlystutler5980]

Yami! How can I possibly pick just one favorite? All of them are my favorites! I love blue and and the different shades it comes in! Thank you so very much for sharing. I have been missing you DIYing, lol.

[@janhaley1212]

I like them all. Your children will love all the magic you have created at Christmas. I hope you and your family are doing well and the house is coming along smoothly. Give Nelson a hug! Take care, Jan

[@donnalongo1848]

They were all great, but what a genius idea with the beads, the garland has unlimited possibilities, I have so many napkins I'm going to go through them and see what theme garland I can make. Love it!

[@juliacockroft8745]

These are all beautiful ornaments and decorations. The village is my favorite.

[@shirleysirmons4251]

Can't help loving the first hanging ortiment. So delicate and beautiful.

[@tracyb1857]

Everything is gorgeous! Continued prayers for peace. ❤️🙏🏻

[@robinwoods9961]

Jami, these are all beautiful. I love them all. You definitely have patients for the beads. You did a fantastic job just as always. Your daughter did a good job cutting those out. Try to get some rest.

[@sandrasmith4888]

The ornaments along with the charming house and Christmas trees look so elegant. Love them!

[@vickigage8861]

All of them are so beautiful and blend so well together. Definitely a high class look but also very cottagey. Love!!

[@shannonsullivan1968]

Oh my goodness you just proved that the possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting with what you have on hand! These ornaments are really cute!!!

[@geritate3388]

I love the ornaments and houses with the napkin. I love nutcrackers. The beads are awesome.

[@ninareagan8373]

Girl!! I'll take you crafting in any way I can get! Obviously life has thrown you some curve balls but I miss your crafts or even a look for less video. So great to hear you and see some crafts again!

[@roseoreillysievers6057]

I've never seen that ornament before. I love the shape

[@corinnepage1260]

My favorite DIY was the ceramic or porcelain ornament. I love the blue and white napkins! 👍

[@Melissa_Melissa_503]

Your daughter is a great helper.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

She is 🥰

[@vickiebelk635]

The ceramic ornaments were my favorite part.

[@beckywiltsee9209]

The ornaments & beads are exquisite. Just beautiful!!!

[@pamelataylor3537]

These are all gorgeous, I love the blue and white theme. Pretty certain I have those napkins or tissue paper like that. I love all your projects, I can’t pick a favourite. You have way more patience than me Yami. I love decoupaging but tiny things get me too frustrated cos I can’t see well enough but also cos my hands hurt with arthritis and then I get really frustrated. You’ve done an awesome job on everything Yami and you had a great helper there with your daughter. TFS.

[@Cheray_]

Love that pattern you used and how it makes the theme so cohesive. The first ornaments were so classically stunning. Glad to have you back crafting, thanks for participating at such a busy time! Merry Christmas in July❤🙏🏾
