DIY Cocktail Napkins

April 28, 2014 ·

I modified this tutorial from this excellent project here. I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile and finally did! This is such an easy way to really take your party or event up a notch. Napkins are a small detail, but to me the small details make a huge difference!

    Materials

  • Cotton fabric (A Joyful Riot has custom designs available here)
  • Sewing materials (thread, scissors)
  • Sewing machine
  • Iron

Cut out your fabric into a rectangle measuring 6.5″ by 12.5″

On the open side, fold the edges over about a half inch and iron to keep in place:

Turn the rectangle out so the patterned sides are facing out and iron:

I did one more row of stitching about 1/4″ away from the first row.
