How to Make a Toile Ornament

A piece of toile pattern trimmed from a dinner napkin and decoupaged onto a basic ball becomes an elegant ornament.

What You Need

How to Make It

  1. Remove the ornament tops and spray-paint some with red, others with white.
  2. To steady the ornaments, place them top side down into the cups.
  3. Cut out images from the napkins and lay them right side down into the palm of your hand.
  4. Brush a thin coat of decoupage medium on the image, and carefully press it onto the ornament, smoothing wrinkles.
  5. Allow ornaments to thoroughly dry in the cups.
  6. Replace the painted ornament tops.

Can anyone help me find these particular napkins to buy?! I find it hilarious that Better Homes would promote a craft and not let you know where to find the products needed to replicate it. The only website I found that may at one time have had it no longer does. Any help would be appreciated!!!! Thank you!
