Description:

Beverage napkins, cocktail napkins, buffet napkins, serviettes, party napkins, whatever you call them - using these paper beauties in your collages is a great way to add interest and depth. For those of you not familiar with this technique, when printed napkins are layered on using Mod Podge or similar liquid adhesive, the negative space becomes transparent, leaving the print as an overlay.

For this swap, you will have two partners and you will send each partner 5 patterned/decorative napkins (for a total of 10 napkins swapped). This will be a great way to refresh your stash!


The Rules:

  • Send 5 different, new & unused paper napkins to each partner - no duplicates to the same person.
  • Any size is fine - small, square beverage size or the larger, square/rectangular dinner size. Scallop edge or straight.
  • No graduation, baby shower, birthday, holiday type napkins - we're looking for non-holiday/party specific prints (florals, damask, scrollwork, birds, etc).
  • You may remove the non-decorative layers of the napkins and re-fold them to suit your mailing preferences. This is not mandatory however.

My preference would be to received my napkins with all the layers attached--I find it much easier to work with them/cut out images this way.

For my partners: I prefer napkins with very pale backgrounds (white, cream, pale grey) IF you have some to spare. If not, no problem!
