I love to do decoupage, as it relaxes me. This basket is really beautiful with the flowered napkins decoupaged on it. I have several projects that I need to get started on. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

To each his own, I always say. I really just like wood whether it be baskets or tables, dressers, etc.

I decoupaged a small box to use to put in some jewelry I had made. However, I did an experiment. I did not separate the napkin but decoupaged the entire napkin to the box. It felt like fine linen. I was so surprised and the person receiving the gift loved it. It took several coats of Mod Podge but worth it.

Alexandra,

The key is not overworking the Mod Podge on the napkin. 🙂 Less is more in this case. I hope you find a basket and have success!

What a transformation! I tried using napkins ONCE to decoupage some ceramic tile coasters, and I had a major fail. Haven’t tried again since. This is a fun idea though! Maybe I will keep my eyes out for a good basket at the thrift store.

In reply to Karolyn Love. How wonderful! I appreciate your sweet comment so much. This was so easy, I can't wait to hear how your basket turns out! The key is to NOT paint the mod podge, but use a more delicate dabbing on the thin napkins. This was my first basket, but probably not my last! gail
