How to Decoupage with Paper Napkins: Make a Tile Coaster and a Desk Tidy

It is no secret that I am a bit of a hoarder. It's a trait I am certain I share with crafters and creatives around the world. I see the potential in everything to become something better than it is or to be used in a project. Pretty paper napkins do not escape my attention. Not only do they make a nice addition to a table setting when entertaining but they can be used in my craft projects too. In the past I have made paper pom poms with napkins but in this post,  I am going to show you how to use them in your decoupage projects.

Creating The Perfect Dining Room as The Heart of Your Home

When searching for our first family home together, we wanted a kitchen and dining area as one space. We love to cook and entertain and the dining room in our home is most certainly the ‘hub’. We go straight there when we come home to dump our things down, we eat meals together, do crafts and home work, play games and it doubles as an office for me during the day. Coffee with friends, dinner parties, children’s parties, BBQs; and the best bit is that the sliding doors open right up onto our garden which is our next favourite place.
