Mod Podged Napkin Styrofoam Damask balls

Visit thecsiproject.com

Here are all the tools you will need, including your hands. ;) I also kept a damp cloth near me to wipe of sticky hands and fingers.... Mod Podge is messy, fun but messy.... or should I say sticky!
I found my napkins at Target a few weeks ago, in the party supply section. I grabbed them right away! I am on a damask kick right now. Start by cutting most the napkin, only leaving the damask design. For me I didn't want a chunk of just black showing... you can do what you like.
You will need an extra strip because the larger piece won't cover the ball thouroughly.
Here is the strip I used to go over the entire ball it should be somewhere down the center of the ball, covering the gathered spots that were exposing the styrofoam.
let them dry... and half way between drying.... or when you feel like it... rotate them so the napkin doesn't stick to the plate. If it does tear (it did for me) cut another piece of napkin and mod podge it over the tear.
All finished...damask "Napkin" covered styrofoam balls!
Three went in my metal bowl on my coffee table......
and one went on in my apothecary jar with some other balls.. See my damask Walmart ribbon... I tied that around the lid.
I have linked up with Funky Junk Interiors for Saturday Night Special HERE and Under the Table and Dreaming for Sunday Showcase linky party HERE and Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Met. Monday HERE.

Super Cute! I love damask as well. I also bought those napkins at Target a while back but in white with black print. I think I'll give it a try. I followed you here from Funky Junk Interiors.

Cute look. Did the napkin color not transfer to your fingers? Dropping by from BNOTP.

Love this! I have some paper mache eggs that I've been wondering what I'm going to do with and you've given me an idea. Thanks for the inspiration!

M.L. @ The House of Whimsy said...

SUPER awesome!!! I've seen eggs done this way with napkins and also monogrammed plates (with just the initial cut out and mod podged). Thanks for a whole new idea. : )
