Watercolor Napkins
Create a stunning DIY tie-dyed napkin by dipping a crisp white cotton napkin into vibrant colored paints, allowing the hues to blend beautifully for a unique, artistic effect. This simple yet elegant craft adds a pop of color to any table setting, making each piece a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Let's Get Started

STEP 1:

A)  For the effect shown you'll need three colors: yellow, dark turquoise, and navy blue. For each paint color, mix together about one tablespoon of paint with ¼ cup water in separate bowls.

STEP 2:

A)    Wet the cloth napkin.

B)    Squeeze most of the water out so that the napkin remains damp but not dripping.

STEP 3:

A)    Dip the bottom of the napkin into the yellow paint mixture. Tip: Use a craft stick to submerge about ¾ of the napkin into the paint mixture. Lift the napkin out and let it drip for a bit over the bowl.

B)    Dip the napkin into the dark turquoise paint mixture. Tip: Use the craft stick to submerge the napkin so almost all of the yellow is covered. Lift the napkin out and let it drip for a bit over the bowl.

C)   Dip the napkin into the navy blue paint mixture. Tip: Use the craft stick to submerge just the bottom edge of the napkin. Lift the napkin out and let it drip for a bit over the bowl.

STEP 4:

A)    Carefully open the napkin and hang it to dry. Tip: Be careful handling the napkin. Since the cloth is wet, it will pick up any color that accidentally gets transferred if the sides touch.

STEP 5:

A)    Once the napkin is dry, use an iron to press out any wrinkles and help set the color. Note: The color will be lighter once the napkin is dry.

STEP 6:

A)    Your napkin is ready to use! Repeat the process to make more unique napkins.
