Today I have an easy way to turn paper napkins into thin, crispy paper that you can then use in a variety of journal and other mixed media projects.
WINNER: The winner of the napkin happy mail stash is @lindastiles7450. Congratulations, Linda! Everyone else please stay tuned as I will more giveaways soon. 😺

While floppy napkins can make gorgeous effects they are also fragile and have a mind of their own. By turning them into paper they become more robust and can then be used in even more ways.
Join me as I show the technique, offer some variations, and then show how to use your new papers in a variety of ways including binding them into messy journals.
If you would like a chance to win a pack of paper napkins from my stash, please leave me a comment or a question and you will automatically be in the drawing. I will choose a name at random on 22 November 2024 at 12:00 (noon) GMT and put the name of the winner here.
