Before you toss those leftover napkin plies… try this. In today’s video, I’m sharing one of my favorite junk journaling hacks: turning discarded white napkin layers into stunning faux aged tape. It’s soft, delicate, and has that translucent magic we all love—without needing alcohol inks or washi rolls. Whether you’re journaling, collaging, or layering in your art, this easy DIY will add texture and charm. All you need is a napkin ply, paint, and a little imagination.
This is one of those techniques that transforms the overlooked into something beautiful. So grab your decoupage scraps and let’s give them new life.
I’m so happy you’re here! If this sparked any new ideas for you, feel free to subscribe and create alongside me. There’s so much beauty to be found in the everyday.
