Mod Podge the cake plate cover and lay the napkins on top of it. Go around the entire cake plate lid until it's covered with napkins. Let it dry thoroughly and then add 2 coats of Mod Podge over the napkins. I also painted and distressed the top of the lid with white paint. Here's what it looks like finished...

My mother used to do that! She often used old greeting cards, too, with the extra paper wet and peeled off. She covered boxes, mostly. I used the technique to cover an old trunk when I was in college, and used it for years, it help up really well. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, great idea with the cards. I'll have to remember that.
