The Complete Napkin Book

Here are inspired ideas, from the beautifully simple - tucking a fresh daisy into a freshly laundered linen napkin, tied with an organza ribbon - to the impressively creative, such as embroidering a napkin with your guest's initials. You can also learn how to create napkin rings from safety pins, electrical wire, tin foil, elastic bands, paper, and much more. Creative techniques such as fabric painting, applique, embroidery, beading, couching and threadwork are clearly explained, using step-by-step illustrations to demonstrate techniques and beautiful photographs of the finished project for inspiration and to show variations on the theme.
