Anthropologie Inspired DIY Napkins

Anthropologie Inspired DIY Napkins | Sarah Hearts

You probably already know I that love cloth napkins. I love that they are reusable, machine washable and they dress up your table. Win, win, right? So when I stumbled upon the sun stripe napkins at Anthropologie I was in love. They have such a simple linear pattern that will easily go from summer to fall. At $12 each, I just couldn’t justify the price tag. So I stopped at TJ Maxx and picked up a set of four cotton, linen looking napkins for $5. I used some Martha Stewart craft paint and a 1/4″ angled paint brush and painted the simple pattern.

Instant Anthro style for only $5! Now that’s definitely a win!

    LOVE! I really need to get (or rather, MAKE) some cloth napkins–we usually just pilfer Dunkin Donuts when we get coffee, haha. Time to get classier. Very nicely done!

  • Dress Up Your Table with Painted Pattern Napkins
    September 15, 2013

    […] Sarah of Sarah Hearts has a thing for cloth napkins. Not only are they a great way to dress up your table, but they are machine washable and reusable. What’s not to love? Sarah was inspired to jazz up a set of plain cotton napkins with a simple pattern using just some craft paint and a brush. Talk about easy! Sarah writes, “Instant Anthro style for only $5! Now that’s definitely a win!” […]

    These are so cute! Do they launder well? I’ve been wanting to do this with a stencil, but was afraid the craft paint would come out in the wash. They’re wonderful!

    How do these hold up to washing? Does the acrylic paint wash out? Really like the idea. Started painting some for myself and have been asked, “How are you going to keep the paint from washing out?”

      Hi Chris! I found that when I use the Martha Stewart craft paint it holds up really well! I always put them in the dryer, on high, for a cycle once the paint is dry. This sets the paint and makes them washable.

Spring is coming and I cannot wait! I made my first spring dress with a fun, flowy rayon from @stylemakerfabrics’s spring launch. There are so many gorgeous florals, it was hard to just choose one!

I’ve had my eye on the #celestiadress from @papercutpatterns (up to a 63.7” hip) for a while and was just waiting for the right fabric to make it. I cannot wait for warmer weather to wear it! This is view B with 1” taken off the bottom 2 tiers since I’m 5’3” plus I had to shorten the center back tie about 10” so it wouldn’t have a huge gap in the back tie.

Story time! In college (over 15 years ago!) I worked at an art supply store. My manager often gave the returned or damaged items to employees, since we were mostly broke art students. Someone returned a set of @pantone swatches and they couldn’t resold since they were open box so she gave them to me—and those are the swatches I’ve been using for work ever since. Guess it was finally time purchase a new set for my business? 😬
