Style (and purse!) conscious brides to be, as well as fellow rustic home-makers are going to love this 4 step tutorial.
Create your own beautiful, and totally unique rustic or vintage style guest napkins from scratch at a fraction of the cost of buying ready made and with absolutely NO sewing. Fantastic if you have little time left until your big day.
Best of all, you can use any fabric - no colour choice or pattern is off limits!
Fabric napkins add an extra touch of luxury to your wedding reception (and are also much more environment friendly).
Don't settle for plain white - get creative...
Remember, the perfect wedding décor is all in the details.
If you can use scissors and an iron, there's no way you can go wrong. Follow this how to - you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to achieve napkins that will wow your guests and add the perfect finishing touch to your décor!
To create the napkins you will need:

Tips on material choice...
- Choose something heavy weight or opaque. As a rule, if you can clearly see your hand through it, it won't be suitable for this technique (as the seams will be visible through the fabric).
- For a rustic theme try a mixture of beiges, creams, browns and fresh earthy greens
- For a vintage mismatched china look to your tables, try mixing floral patterned material to create a one-of-a-kind napkin for each guest.
Step 1: Measure your napkin squares
- Firstly, measure and draw out the 18" squares onto the reverse of your fabric using chalk on a dark fabric or pencil on a lighter fabric. Pen can be used but make sure to cut exactly on these drawn lines otherwise the marks will be visible on the end napkin.
Step 2: Go ahead and cut those squares
- It's important to cut the lines as neatly as possible as these cuts will be visible on the finished napkin. A good quality pair of fabric scissors will make life so much easier! Pinking shears are great to use as they disguise not so straight lines.
If your fabric is fraying alot after being cut, you might want to get some fray check (craft stores) or apply a little clear nailvarnish or water-based varnish to the ends and leave until dry. Some fabrics can also be sealed by running a flame briefly over the frayed ends. If you aren't sure of whether your fabric is suitable for flame sealing I don't advise doing this.
Step 3: Create the seams
- Cut off each corner of each napkin diagonally as shown above.
- Fold in half an inch on the napkin edge and press with the iron to create a fold. Repeat for each edge of every napkin.
Step 4: Seal each seam
Place a strip of bonding web under the seam flap, cover with a damp cloth and iron on high for 10-20 seconds or until the bond has been made. Repeat for each seam flap on each napkin.
- Fold up your napkins in half and half again, and voilà - your beautiful, co-ordinated and inexpensive napkins are complete. No-one will ever know they were so simple to make!
Hope you found this useful, I know I like to get away without sewing if I can!

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day I heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
