Decoupage Easter Decor With Napkins

 If you've followed me for awhile, then you know how much I love to use napkins for decoupage. If there's ever a napkin shortage, just come to my house. I have quite the collection! And, HomeGoods doesn't help my addiction. Not only do they have a section in the store with napkins, they have them strategically placed in the long line you have to stand in to check out. So, of course, on my last visit I had to buy 6 packs of cute Easter napkins.

I bought the napkins to make coasters (which I did) but I had a couple of other projects in mind as well.

 I've always seen peat pots used in decor & thought some of the napkins I bought would be perfect for that project. So, I ordered some peat pots...


I didn't want solid coverage, so I dry brushed them with white paint.


The napkin I used was 3 ply, so I separated the layers until I was left with a single sheet. If you don't separate the layers, the napkin won't stick properly.
I tore around the part of the design I wanted to use, then used ModPodge to apply it to the peat pot.


Since the background color of the napkin is white, it doesn't show on the white paint, & looks like the design is painted onto the pot.


I formed Spanish Moss into a nest shape, placed it into the pot, then added an egg.


I love how it turned out & see a lot more projects with peat pots in my future!


I used a second napkin for a super easy project on a little wooden block house that I picked up at Target. These little houses come in packs of 3 different sizes.

I painted the wood white...


As with the last project, I separated the layers, & added ModPodge to the block, then applied the napkin.


I sanded the edges to remove the excess napkin.


I could have stopped there & it would've been cute, but I cut out the words, Easter Blessings, in vinyl using my Cricut Maker, & added them to the block.


Easy, inexpensive, adorable!

  2. Oh Virginia, both of these Easter decoupage ideas are adorable. I especially love your peat pot nests. I wish I could find napkins that pretty! They would make adorable Easter place cardholder/guest favors too.
