I’m sharing a bunch of napkin decoupage ideas today! Lots of things you can do with pretty napkins, the ideas are endless!

Hello, beautiful friends!

Let’s decoupage with napkins! If you’ve been around here any time at all, you know I love decoupaging with napkins. The design possibilities are just endless with them. And the things you can use them on are just about endless, too.

Today, I’m sharing a bunch of napkin projects I’ve done over the years. I hope you enjoy this round-up and it inspires you to pull out some napkins and get crafty too!

I’ve also created a bundle of napkins I’m selling. They are ones I’ve used in projects over the years (and pictured here), along with a bunch of new ones I just got and used for my DIY Air Dry Clay projects. You can find the napkin bundles here.

Napkin Decoupage Ideas

A small wooden chest with a checkered brown and purple pattern, decorated using paper napkin decoupage with two painted snowmen wearing hats and scarves, sits on a wooden surface. The word BEFORE is written in the bottom left corner.

This is one my favorites. So much so, that I kept this little box and use it in my dressing area to hold things.

A small rectangular box with a domed lid, decorated using paper napkin decoupage in colorful floral and butterfly patterns, sits on a light wooden surface in front of a decorative mirror and a blue glass vase.

And for those of you new here, I recently finished a few new napkin projects.

I even used napkins on UV resin.

Imagine all the pretty earrings you can make with the multitude of napkin designs!

  1. Love all of these. Those earrings and bowls are so nice! You could sell those also. I bought some of the napkins you had and they are so pretty. Going to look at your spring projects with them again because I never got to use them. Life…things lol. Happy Spring!

  2. I forgot to mention. How do you like Fusion’s Alchemy paint line compared to their regular chalk paint? It sounds like it would be great paint and beautiful colors.

    1. You know, I’ve only used the new Alchemy line once or twice and I didn’t fall in love with it. I wouldn’t say I don’t like it but I guess I haven’t really used it enough to know. Partly because I just love their main line. It’s my absolute favorite!
