Discover here how well napkin technique and embroidery can be combined. The napkin provides a great background motif, small embroidered elements provide the noble plastic look.

.
Napkin technique on fabric
For a picture with an embroidery ring Ø 21.5 cm you need a fabric blank of approx. 27.5 x 27.5 cm in size.

First, select a motif napkin according to your personal taste. Remove the bottom unprinted paper layers from the napkin.

Coat the fabric with napkin varnish for textiles and carefully place the printed paper layer of the napkin. Apply another layer of napkin varnish with the brush.

After drying, fix the napkin with the iron. Follow the instructions on the product packaging. Now stretch the fabric as tightly as possible in the embroidery ring.
Modern picture embroidery
Picture embroidery is "painting with needle and thread". Either use the motifs depicted on the napkin - in the case of the bee picture, the honeycomb contours can be embroidered - or draw the embroidery motif in advance.

Embroider small bees on the bee picture (satin stitch). Use the Stroke-Ex pen to pre-draw them directly on the napkin image, the ink will disappear after some time, and then embroider.

Or you can use - as in the case of the napkin "Woman with flower wreath" the motif as an embroidery pattern: embroider the flowers in 3D optics (decorative embroidery)...
Alternative idea "embroidered notebook"
Not only embroidery rings can be decorated with the combination of napkin technique and embroidery. In our notebook idea, too, a napkin is first applied to fabric and decorated with embroidery elements in an embroidery hoop. Then the designed fabric is glued onto the notebook. Visible cut edges can be touched up with dabbed-on craft paint. With further decorations such as lace ribbons, self-made labels, you also quickly have a unique piece.
