simple give thanks napkins ~

 Saturday evening chilling at home yielded some time to clean, put away all the Halloween stuff and start thinking about some Thanksgiving touches around the house.  Isn't it fun to pull out those tubs of decorations that have been hibernating for the past year?  For me, it's like unwrapping a present!

After fiddling about filling pitchers with twigs, reuniting with my vintage turkey platters, and arranging my velvet pumpkins on my dining room table, I decided to make some very simple Thanksgiving napkins.

I had four of these oatmeal colored linen napkins that were a thrift store find.  The next step is to hop on the computer and create your design.  I chose "give thanks" as the graphic and decided on English Script as my font.  I increased the font size to 120 to make my graphic big and bold.  I played around with various fonts and sizes until I found a style that matched my vision for my Thanksgiving decor.

Once my design was complete, the image got flipped and printed out on iron-on transfer paper.

Then the task of ironing the images onto the fabric just takes a few minutes.

 If you want to try this as project, just follow the instructions on the iron-on transfer paper package.  It's super easy and so fun to create whatever look you are going for!  I have made several kitchen and bathroom towels using this same technique and they've turned out well and have lasted through several washings.

Just a fun little project to fill my time on a night at home!
