How To Do It
  • Decide what images you would like on the napkins. Set out holiday books, magazines and cards to look through for ideas.
  • Have your children draw their designs on a piece of paper before transferring them onto the napkins.
  • This drawing can be their template. (Print out our illustration template for additional ideas)
  • Decide where you would like the design to appear on the napkin and place the template under this area.
  • Press firmly with the crayons as you draw the image(s) onto the cloth.
  • Place a newspaper and then a pillowcase over the crayon image you have drawn.
  • Iron on the pillowcase with a hot dry iron, to fuse the crayon to the cloth.
  • Your napkins are now ready to part of the Holiday table.
Tips
  • Wash the napkins in cold water so that the design does not fade.
Follow-Up Fun
