These cloth napkins will add a decorative touch to any holiday table, as well as to every day table settings. They can be easily made or decorated with minimal effort and time, and add a certain charm to the decor.

Materials:

apples, cut in half – stem left on, seeds removed

cloth napkins, premade or homemade (Choose an off white color)

parchment paper

fabric paints: red, yellow and apple green colors

  1. Wash and dry the napkins. Iron if needed.
  2. Put paints on parchment paper squares.
  3. Use the apple halves as stamps, dipping them into the paint and then pressing them onto the placemats.
  4. Allow to dry thoroughly before using.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest apples possible.
  • Use these napkins for every day table settings, or for holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
  • These can also be used for Samhain and Yule.
  • Use cotton fabric.
  • This craft is easy for children to help with.
