Maranda that's an excellent idea!!! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you so much for sharing that.....I will have to give it a try. You should make a video showing how :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you Jane! If you want some other napkin crafting ideas and techniques you should check out my napkin crafting playlist.....it has most of my napkin crafting videos in it. I haven't used napkins for cards yet but I have used them on tags.....that's the closest I have come to doing it on cards. But I use napkins on so many other things. Thank you for stopping by.....oh and are you in the US so I can add you to the giveaway? :) Hugs....Janie
I have never seen this technique before nor did I know that napkins come with white portions...I’ll be paying more attention when I purchase napkins👀. Very detailed video, thanks for explaining everything👍🏻. AWESOME, imagine we can print images on napkins of the loved ones for family events💖💖💖. Yes, that’s the coolest technique I have seen in years💙. I’m in love with your final projects..I agree the wrinkles give it character. Your little crafting iron is so cute💕. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻
Thank you so much! And yes.....you can print photos on them! What special projects that would make! I'm so happy you like this technique and like my projects....that really means a lot to me. Thank my sweet friend :) Hugs....Janie
I'm so happy you're finding new techniques today. I hope you look through my channel and find even more things that are new to you. Have fun watching and learning :) Hugs....Janie
I use napkins in my card making. Never knew about the white space and this brings to create with napkins to a whole new level for me. Congrats and thank you for sharing.
I do a lot of napkin crafting but have not yet used it in making cards.....probably because I have so much patterned paper already....LOL....too much....LOL But I will have to try it someday. I have already tried it on cardstock, just didn't make a card. I bet your cards are so beautiful! If you ever want to try your hand at other napkin projects you can check out my Playlists....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting projects in it. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Yes.....get double use from a napkin too.....use the pretty pre-printed napkin and then use the white layers to print more! Just think of the things you can print to create beautiful, special, and unique projects. If you need some ideas or inspiration for napking crafting click on my Playlists tab and find my napking crafting playlist :) Hugs....Janie
Hello....and yes....no waste....you can make the napkin go farther! And you can print anything you want on them for more personalized creations. I'm happy you like it :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much! If you are into napkin crafting (or just getting started) and need some ideas, click on the Playlists tab and you will find a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I can't wait to try this. I'm in the USA . I love your project. It's beautiful especially adding the sand and the little elements. The napkin on the painted wood is really pretty. I love the twine for the edges. They both are beautiful.
Oh thank you so much Diane!!! You said the sweetest things and I'm so happy you like my project! If you are new to napkin crafting or just need some ideas, check out my Playlists where you will find a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos :) Hugs....Janie

If you need some napkin crafting ideas and inspiration click on my Playlists tab and you will find a napkin crafting playist with most of my napkin crafting videos :) Hugs....Janie
LOL I had never heard of it before.....it was something I came up with as far as I know. A few years ago I didn't have a napkin with what I wanted on it, and there is always left over napkin layers or even napkins with blank parts, so I decided to give it a try and it worked....LOL That's how I come up with the things I do.....I just experiment with what pops into my head! If you are into napkin crafting you should check out my Playlists where you will find a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it.....if you haven't seen them already..... you might get some new ideas :) Hugs....Janie
This was just what I was looking for. I have some images that would be perfect for napkin crafting so it's good to know I can print my own. Plus, I have a few napkins that I want to use as a background for text. Now I can just print the text using my printer instead of using a stencil. I liked you showed both laser and ink jet printers. Like you, I have both. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy found my video and that is helpful for you. You could also scan napkins that you like but only have 1 or 2 of and then you can print them out too. So many possibilities. And having both kinds of printers is always a plus. By the way, I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it if your interested.....take a look. Have fun 😊 Hugs....Janie
It's amazing the things you learn.....you should give it a try if you're into napkin crafting. There are so many possibilities. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Hi Kathy! I'm so happy I have opened the napkin crafting door for you....hee hee hee. Check out my playlists and you will find one with most of my napking crafting videos to inspire you with more ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie (P.S. where do you live?)
Hi Lorie! Is it napkin crafting you have never tried, or is it the napkin printing? If you need some inspiration I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting projects in it, you should check it out :) Hugs....Janie
Now this is an awesome idea ...sometimesI have a very favourite napkin that is not available anymore so I can now scan it, safe it and now print it again on a white napkin...tfs this great idea 👍❤️
I'm so thrilled to learn about printing your own napkins! Especially since I just recently started doing some mod podge! I have at least 2 dozen jars/bottles I had prepped earlier this spring to do some mod podging. I'll be interested to see how the ink jet prints will work without the heat since I don't think that'll work well, lol. Anyway, thanks so much for this tutorial! I am in the US since I did see some comment that too. ❤
The project you saw in my giveaway video was done with an inkjet printer and wet Mod Podge, so it does work. However just in case you should let the napkin set over night before using it just to make sure the ink is completely dry. And if you would like some ideas you might want to check out my Playlists that I mentioned in a reply to your previous comment. Have fun with your Mod Podge projects :) Hugs....Janie
LOL Dawn I'm telling you.....check out my channel! Go back through some older videos or look in my Playlists. I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting projects, but there are other awesome playlists that might interest you too. I'm so happy you are learning new things! That's what my channel is all about :) Hugs....Janie
Thanks! I thought of it when I needed a napkin for a project and couldn't find what I needed so I decided to just print one and it worked! YAY! Are you into napking crafting? :) Hugs....Janie
For wrinkle free you can use a thin plastic foil or plastic bag, put it on top of the image and smear it with your fingers or a plastic card, depends on the surface (curved or not). Then, easy take the plastic bag off. Don't let the plastic bag to long or it will ruine your project. You can also use your finger wrapped in plastic foil to smear the surface. Hope this helps. Very nice tutorial :)
Actually for wrinkle free I use a craft iron.....it's a wonderful easy technique and don't have to mess with anything. I have shown that in many of my videos. But sometimes I like the wrinkled look. Thank you for sharing your idea :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much Tasha! I love beach themed things too.....not as much as I love Paris themes....LOL...but the beach is next on my list of favs :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much! Since you want to give napkin crafting a try, maybe you would like to see more of my napkin craft videos that show different techniques and you can get some ideas. If you go into my Playlists you will find my napkin crafting playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it....it might be helpful. Have fun :) Hugs....Janie
This is a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing this with us! I always get frustrated because I can't seem to find an image on a napkin that I like or want to use for my projects!! Now you have given us the steps to create our own images!! Thanks luv! and congrats on 1M views!!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like this idea. I came up with it for the same reason you mentioned....not being able to find a napkin with the image I wanted. If you are into napkin crafting and want to see more of my projects for ideas, check out my Playlists....I have one with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs...Janie
I’ve never heard of this technique before . I’m crazy about how everything turned out ! You are so creative and inspiring! Congrats on your 1 million views . Hugs 🤗
So Annie is it napkin crafting you are not familiar with? Or printing on napkins? I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting in it if you need some inspiration. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment :) Hugs....Janie
This is so cool. I have lots of napkins to try this with. Can't wait to try it. This would be great to put on candles. SO much fun! I always learn so much from you. SO excited for you on your 1 million views. I am from the USA. Hugs and blessings!
Thanks! Funny you should mention candles.....I thought I had a candle video in my napkin craft playlist but then remembered I had done it with tissue paper....but yes it would work for candles too. But you should check out my napkin crafting playlist anyway for more ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful 4th of July :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much Donna!!! Sometimes ideas just pop into my head and I have to try them....and then of course share them with my wonderful viewers :) Hugs...Janie
This is really Cool. I really am going to need to check into where to print. I don't think I have any programs. I do have a place to print different sizes. But I think this is a really cool Idea and will try it for sure!!! Thanks for sharing your Idea. Love and Hugs.....
Yes it is cool. So I'm not sure what you mean by where to print. But if you are talking about positioning with your printer, you don't have to have a special program. You can use what you were talking about.....printing different sizes. You can also use Word (most computers come with that). It's pretty much like printing anything else.....I may have just made it too complicated in my video because I'm use to positioning my images. Just print like you normally would. I'm here for you :) Hugs...Janie
Thank you so much my sweet friend! I love that beach image from SheepSki Designs and it just all came together. I'm loving the napkin printing and will be doing more of it. You should give it a try :) Hugs...Janie
Wow. I had no idea that you could print on napkins. This is so awesome. Is this almost like rice paper? This is great I can't wait to try it. Great tutorial as usual. Thanks again.
I'm not familiar with rice paper.....just napkins. I love doing napkin crafting with pre-printed pretty napkins, and then I can use the white layers you peel off to do my napkin printing which gives more for my money. If you are interested in napkin crafting check out my playlists, I have one with most of my napkin crafting videos to give you more ideas. Thanks so much for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Hi Janie! Love💖it .. Another wonderful idea. This technique would be so cute on a light switch cover to bring a theme together on a room .. Printing on napkins is absolutely amazing. Love your creativity ❤ hugs, Cindi
Hi Cindi!!! I see you are binge watching....LOL...thank you. Yes this would be great on a light switch cover or even a lamp shade, and so much more. You can use pretty napkins or print something special on them like I did. So many possibilities. Thank you so much for your sweet comment.....I always appreciate you so much :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you like this. It is one of those things that just popped into my head and I had to try it and share it. Thank you for your sweet comment :) Hugs...Janie
Very cool! I didn't even know there was spray-on Mod Podge! Think I'll do a project like this with my 14-year-old granddaughter. She thinks I'm very clever; she doesn't know about The Craft Princess! haha
LOL you are so cute! Thank you so much! I think you and your granddaughter will have fun doing this....so awesome that you craft together. If you would like more napkin crafting techniques and ideas check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thank for stopping by and putting a smile on my face :) Hugs....Janie
Thank you! It does work with an inkjet printer, in fact that's what I used for the project in my giveaway video that you watched. I might suggest if you are using the wet Mod Podge method instead of the iron on method, that you let the napkin sit a day to make sure the ink is dry. If you would like to get more napkin crafting ideas you can check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I wish I would of watched this video before the other day when I tried to do this without the great info. Thanks Now I will try it with this great info!!
Hi Linda! So what did you do? Were you trying to print or just napkin crafting? If you are into napkin crafting you should watch my other videos. Click on my Playlists tab and you will find a playlist in there with most of my napkin crafting videos to help you or just give you some ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I have never seen it done before either. I discovered this technique when I was doing some napkin crafting but didn't have a napkin with what I wanted on it so I decided to try printing one and it worked. And that is how I come up with things.....I just try what pops into my heard. If you are wondering if you can print on tissue paper the answer is yes.....I have done it before to put on candles (another video I have if you want to watch). As for using the tissue paper in place of the napkin for this technique.....probably.....I don't see why not....but I have never tried it so I don't know excatly how it would turn out but I'm sure it would work.....it would just be slightly different. Napkins are cheaper though and you kind of get twice as much for your money since you would use the top layer of the napkin for projects and then print on one of the napkin layers. If you're not familiar with napkin crafting I have a playlist with my napkin crafting projects, just click on the Playlists tab, or maybe I even have it linked at the end of this video or in the description box below the video. I'm happy you are learning something new. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I'm so happy you like this. I also had never seen this done so I tried it and it works great. You already do napkin crafting but if you need any ideas you can check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting video in it. Enjoy :) Hugs....Janie
Yes....I think it kind of "melts" the Mod Podge and "soaks" into the napkin adhering it. It's not messy or anything and the napkin stays smooth and almost cloth like. I like doing it both ways depending on the look I'm going for. Give it a try. I have more napkin crafting videos if you're interested.....maybe for some ideas.....just look in my Playlists. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Interesting.....I have a video on transfering photos and digital images to tiles. I'm sure you can glue a napkin to a tile as easy as gluing anything else.....not the same as transfering but still an option. I use napkins on all kinds of crafts.....if you're interested in napkin crafting I have a Playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it :) Hugs....Janie
Amazing...never thought of printing my own napkins. Always on the look out for pretty one's now I will be looking for the white backs too. Love this! 💕 Do you have video on how to put on the bags too? TFS From Minnesota
Thank you so much....I'm happy you like this. For putting it on the bag I just printed out the image a transfer sheet (the kind you buy at the store)....the kind you use to make t-shirt transfers....and ironed it on. There are other techniques and I almost did one of them but didn't. Maybe another time :) Hugs...Janie
LOL So happy you like it! If you like napkin crafting check out my Playlists, I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it if you need ideas :) Hugs....Janie
Thanks! I just use the back layer of napkins I get from the Dollar Tree.....nothing special. Of course you don't want to use textured napkins because I don't think that would work well. And if you use the pretty napkins from Dollar Tree (or anywhere) you can use the pretty front layer for napkin crafting as well.....so you get more for your money. I have several videos on napkin crafting if you need some ideas. I just added a link to my Napkin Crafting playlist to the end of this video and also to the top of the description box below this video Have fun :) Hugs....Janie
Cool technique! Could you use just a plain white napkin? I have never seen the napkins you used with all the white space. Thanks for sharing and again Congrats on the l million views!!
Hi Colleen! Yes you can use plain white napkins as long as they are smooth....I'm not sure how well textured ones would do. But if you get printed napkins (which you can use for napking crafting) and you take of the back layers which are always white, then you can use those layers to print on. By doing that you get more for your money. If you are new to napkin crafting check out my playlists.....I have one with most of my napkin crafting videso in it. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment :) Hugs....Janie (P.S. where are you located?)
I guess it depends on the size of your project.....but I would be careful. You can do it without an iron. You should watch my other napkin crafting videos for ideas and different techniques. Click on my Playlists tab and you'll find a playlist in there with most of my napkin crafting videos :) Hugs....Janie
Yes napkin crafting seems to be a thing which is how I came up with this.....I didn't have a napkin with the image I wanted so I thought I would just print my own and it worked.....LOL :) Hugs....Janie
Your question is very vague. I don't know if you are asking if you can print a solid color on the napkin, or if you can print on a solid color napkin. You can print anything on the napkin that your printer can print......solid colors, patterns, images, etc. Or you can print on any sold color napkin.....for example I printed on a solid white colored napkin.....but keep in mind that the color of the napkin will have an effect on the color of whatever you print.
I have done it with my laser printer that has a tray feed (I just need to remember which way things go through it....LOL) and I have done with my inkjet printer that has a back feed (papers go in from the top) and it has worked with both printers. The one I did in today's giveaway video was done with my inkjet printer. But I have heard some people say (not in regard to this) that they can't put cardstock in their printer and if that's the case I'm sure you can tape it to paper and hope your printer likes it. But I don't have any problems with mine. For more napkin crafting ideas check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Have fun :) Hugs...Janie
I would love to thank you for watching my video.....but if you had you would already know the answer to your question. It is rude to not watch a video and ask a question. So for the answer to your question......it is in the video....please watch.
Never thought about printing on napkins. I think your accidental printing in the wrong spot could be used as a placement guide for setting your napkin correctly next time. See? You did that on purpose. (Missouri)
LOL.....that's it...yes....I did it on purpose....LOL Actually I prefer printing with my inkjet printer because I know exactly where things will print....always have it going the right way. But you should give it a try....so many possibilities :) Hugs....Janie
I love this idea for using in my Bible Journaling! The napkins work great on the thin pages. God bless!
Maranda that's an excellent idea!!! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you so much for sharing that.....I will have to give it a try. You should make a video showing how :) Hugs....Janie
What a fun way of creating card fronts. I love how the scene on the napkin is so soft, no harsh lines
Thank you so much :) Hugs....Janie

Janie - The Craft Princess I am looking it up right now.
This is a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing this with us! I always get frustrated because I can't seem to find an image on a napkin that I like or want to use for my projects!! Now you have given us the steps to create our own images!! Thanks luv! and congrats on 1M views!!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like this idea. I came up with it for the same reason you mentioned....not being able to find a napkin with the image I wanted. If you are into napkin crafting and want to see more of my projects for ideas, check out my Playlists....I have one with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs...Janie
I’ve never heard of this technique before . I’m crazy about how everything turned out ! You are so creative and inspiring! Congrats on your 1 million views . Hugs 🤗
So Annie is it napkin crafting you are not familiar with? Or printing on napkins? I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting in it if you need some inspiration. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment :) Hugs....Janie
This is so cool. I have lots of napkins to try this with. Can't wait to try it. This would be great to put on candles. SO much fun! I always learn so much from you. SO excited for you on your 1 million views. I am from the USA. Hugs and blessings!
Thanks! Funny you should mention candles.....I thought I had a candle video in my napkin craft playlist but then remembered I had done it with tissue paper....but yes it would work for candles too. But you should check out my napkin crafting playlist anyway for more ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful 4th of July :) Hugs....Janie
This is a perfect gift for a friend 🦋👍🏻
Thank you! Definitely a nice gift idea :) Hugs....Janie
WOW Janie, your project is amazing! I just love how you think outside the box. Thank so much for sharing x
Thank you so much Donna!!! Sometimes ideas just pop into my head and I have to try them....and then of course share them with my wonderful viewers :) Hugs...Janie
This is really Cool. I really am going to need to check into where to print. I don't think I have any programs. I do have a place to print different sizes. But I think this is a really cool Idea and will try it for sure!!! Thanks for sharing your Idea. Love and Hugs.....
Yes it is cool. So I'm not sure what you mean by where to print. But if you are talking about positioning with your printer, you don't have to have a special program. You can use what you were talking about.....printing different sizes. You can also use Word (most computers come with that). It's pretty much like printing anything else.....I may have just made it too complicated in my video because I'm use to positioning my images. Just print like you normally would. I'm here for you :) Hugs...Janie
Great techniques! I love the scene you chose too! Beautiful projects. 💕
Thank you so much my sweet friend! I love that beach image from SheepSki Designs and it just all came together. I'm loving the napkin printing and will be doing more of it. You should give it a try :) Hugs...Janie
Amazing! I've not seen this technique before. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Great Day! :-)
I had not seen it done before either until I did it a while back. There are so many possibilities :) Hugs....Janie
Great idea! will give it a try! Thanks. Congrats on your million views!
Thank you so much :) Hugs....Janie
Wow. I had no idea that you could print on napkins. This is so awesome. Is this almost like rice paper? This is great I can't wait to try it. Great tutorial as usual. Thanks again.
I'm not familiar with rice paper.....just napkins. I love doing napkin crafting with pre-printed pretty napkins, and then I can use the white layers you peel off to do my napkin printing which gives more for my money. If you are interested in napkin crafting check out my playlists, I have one with most of my napkin crafting videos to give you more ideas. Thanks so much for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
This are beautiful. I would never have thought you can use an ink jet with this
Thank you! I prefer my inkjet over my laser printer because I don't have to remember which way to put the paper in....hee hee hee :) Hugs...Janie
This is so awesome! TFS! I live in the U. S.
Thank you so much! Glad you stopped by :) Hugs....Janie
Hi Janie! Love💖it .. Another wonderful idea. This technique would be so cute on a light switch cover to bring a theme together on a room .. Printing on napkins is absolutely amazing. Love your creativity ❤ hugs, Cindi
Hi Cindi!!! I see you are binge watching....LOL...thank you. Yes this would be great on a light switch cover or even a lamp shade, and so much more. You can use pretty napkins or print something special on them like I did. So many possibilities. Thank you so much for your sweet comment.....I always appreciate you so much :) Hugs....Janie
Great idea. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much....hope you give it a try :) Hugs...Janie
Comment #2 This is a game changer ! ! I love this and Thank you for pointing me to this video ! ! (USA)
LOL so happy you like this.....have fun :) Hugs....Janie
Love this idea! I never would have thought of doing this! Wonderful projects you made with them! :)
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you like this. It is one of those things that just popped into my head and I had to try it and share it. Thank you for your sweet comment :) Hugs...Janie
Very cool! I didn't even know there was spray-on Mod Podge! Think I'll do a project like this with my 14-year-old granddaughter. She thinks I'm very clever; she doesn't know about The Craft Princess! haha
LOL you are so cute! Thank you so much! I think you and your granddaughter will have fun doing this....so awesome that you craft together. If you would like more napkin crafting techniques and ideas check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thank for stopping by and putting a smile on my face :) Hugs....Janie
Awesome tutorial!! I have an ink jet printer so this is just what I needed to know. Thanks so much. Crafty smooches
Thank you! It does work with an inkjet printer, in fact that's what I used for the project in my giveaway video that you watched. I might suggest if you are using the wet Mod Podge method instead of the iron on method, that you let the napkin sit a day to make sure the ink is dry. If you would like to get more napkin crafting ideas you can check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
Cute napkin technique! Cathy USA

Thank you so much sweet friend!!! And you can do this with either inkjet or laser.....I prefer using my inkjet :) Hugs....Janie
Very cool..thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching :) Hugs....Janie
so grate.!! love.
Thank you 😊
Interesting technique, I had never seen it done before. Could tissue paper do the same thing? TFS
I have never seen it done before either. I discovered this technique when I was doing some napkin crafting but didn't have a napkin with what I wanted on it so I decided to try printing one and it worked. And that is how I come up with things.....I just try what pops into my heard. If you are wondering if you can print on tissue paper the answer is yes.....I have done it before to put on candles (another video I have if you want to watch). As for using the tissue paper in place of the napkin for this technique.....probably.....I don't see why not....but I have never tried it so I don't know excatly how it would turn out but I'm sure it would work.....it would just be slightly different. Napkins are cheaper though and you kind of get twice as much for your money since you would use the top layer of the napkin for projects and then print on one of the napkin layers. If you're not familiar with napkin crafting I have a playlist with my napkin crafting projects, just click on the Playlists tab, or maybe I even have it linked at the end of this video or in the description box below the video. I'm happy you are learning something new. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I already do this technique but never make my on napkins so thank you greats from belguim wow never so this airon
I'm so happy you like this. I also had never seen this done so I tried it and it works great. You already do napkin crafting but if you need any ideas you can check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting video in it. Enjoy :) Hugs....Janie
I have never seen it done like that, I think I even have one of those lil irons. Does the heat make the mod podge tacky so the napkin sticks?
Yes....I think it kind of "melts" the Mod Podge and "soaks" into the napkin adhering it. It's not messy or anything and the napkin stays smooth and almost cloth like. I like doing it both ways depending on the look I'm going for. Give it a try. I have more napkin crafting videos if you're interested.....maybe for some ideas.....just look in my Playlists. Thanks for stopping by :) Hugs....Janie
I bet this technique would be good for making your own ceramic coasters
Interesting.....I have a video on transfering photos and digital images to tiles. I'm sure you can glue a napkin to a tile as easy as gluing anything else.....not the same as transfering but still an option. I use napkins on all kinds of crafts.....if you're interested in napkin crafting I have a Playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it :) Hugs....Janie
Amazing...never thought of printing my own napkins. Always on the look out for pretty one's now I will be looking for the white backs too. Love this! 💕 Do you have video on how to put on the bags too? TFS From Minnesota
Thank you so much....I'm happy you like this. For putting it on the bag I just printed out the image a transfer sheet (the kind you buy at the store)....the kind you use to make t-shirt transfers....and ironed it on. There are other techniques and I almost did one of them but didn't. Maybe another time :) Hugs...Janie
@@janiethecraftprincess thank you! As a craft hoarder I just happen to have those sheets. 😂
@@heidilentz4406 LOL :)
OMG I well be doing that thank you
LOL So happy you like it! If you like napkin crafting check out my Playlists, I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it if you need ideas :) Hugs....Janie
That’s great!
Can I use regular table napkins to print on or does it have to be special type napkins?
Thanks! I just use the back layer of napkins I get from the Dollar Tree.....nothing special. Of course you don't want to use textured napkins because I don't think that would work well. And if you use the pretty napkins from Dollar Tree (or anywhere) you can use the pretty front layer for napkin crafting as well.....so you get more for your money. I have several videos on napkin crafting if you need some ideas. I just added a link to my Napkin Crafting playlist to the end of this video and also to the top of the description box below this video Have fun :) Hugs....Janie
Janie - The Craft Princess THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️🧡💛
@@paulette-rose You are quite welcome :) Hugs....Janie
Cool technique! Could you use just a plain white napkin? I have never seen the napkins you used with all the white space. Thanks for sharing and again Congrats on the l million views!!
Hi Colleen! Yes you can use plain white napkins as long as they are smooth....I'm not sure how well textured ones would do. But if you get printed napkins (which you can use for napking crafting) and you take of the back layers which are always white, then you can use those layers to print on. By doing that you get more for your money. If you are new to napkin crafting check out my playlists.....I have one with most of my napkin crafting videso in it. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment :) Hugs....Janie (P.S. where are you located?)
@@janiethecraftprincess I am in South east Michigan.
Could a regular size iron work? What would be the heat setting for this project? Thanks.-Joy
I guess it depends on the size of your project.....but I would be careful. You can do it without an iron. You should watch my other napkin crafting videos for ideas and different techniques. Click on my Playlists tab and you'll find a playlist in there with most of my napkin crafting videos :) Hugs....Janie
Yes I am in NC
Awesome! Perfect! Thank you :) Hugs....Janie
Napkin crating is all the rage right now. This will fit right in...
Yes napkin crafting seems to be a thing which is how I came up with this.....I didn't have a napkin with the image I wanted so I thought I would just print my own and it worked.....LOL :) Hugs....Janie
Can it be a solid color?
Your question is very vague. I don't know if you are asking if you can print a solid color on the napkin, or if you can print on a solid color napkin. You can print anything on the napkin that your printer can print......solid colors, patterns, images, etc. Or you can print on any sold color napkin.....for example I printed on a solid white colored napkin.....but keep in mind that the color of the napkin will have an effect on the color of whatever you print.
Does this work in any printer? OMG! 🤯
I have done it with my laser printer that has a tray feed (I just need to remember which way things go through it....LOL) and I have done with my inkjet printer that has a back feed (papers go in from the top) and it has worked with both printers. The one I did in today's giveaway video was done with my inkjet printer. But I have heard some people say (not in regard to this) that they can't put cardstock in their printer and if that's the case I'm sure you can tape it to paper and hope your printer likes it. But I don't have any problems with mine. For more napkin crafting ideas check out my Playlists.....I have a playlist with most of my napkin crafting videos in it. Have fun :) Hugs...Janie
What kind of printer did you use? Is it working on injek printer?
I would love to thank you for watching my video.....but if you had you would already know the answer to your question. It is rude to not watch a video and ask a question. So for the answer to your question......it is in the video....please watch.
Napkin printing
Yup....napkin printing
Never thought about printing on napkins. I think your accidental printing in the wrong spot could be used as a placement guide for setting your napkin correctly next time. See? You did that on purpose. (Missouri)
LOL.....that's it...yes....I did it on purpose....LOL Actually I prefer printing with my inkjet printer because I know exactly where things will print....always have it going the right way. But you should give it a try....so many possibilities :) Hugs....Janie
Cute napkin technique! Cathy USA
Thanks :) Hugs....Janie
