Stamping Holiday Centerpieces
November 7th, 2007 by Jen Love
I borrowed this idea from an old Martha magazine – stamping napkins, tablecloths, or towels for the holidays. These large napkins could make lovely certerpieces or could line the table length or buffet that you serve from. A great, quick hostess gift or decoration for any holiday!
This is one of those perfect projects: Cheap, Quick, Simple, and Not Messy! Literally, a 5 minute project. As you can see some are stamped all the way around, in the corners only, or clustered around the corners. All these looks using only one stamp!
Needed:
Package of Cloth napkins
Stazon permanent ink pad
Holiday picture stamps or messages
My friend also cut stamped a leaf and cut it out in order to stamp the leaves clustered in a corner without overlapping the leaves. The paper leaf blocks the ink to keep each leaf looking crisp.
Note that I am only using Brown and Plum Stazon ink and one stamp so you can obviously be alot more creative with this idea! I am hoping to find holly leaf or star stamps to decorate for Christmas.

Hmm, I wonder if you could get pigment ink and use an embossing tool to make glittery leaves or candy canes?
These are really cute.

This is such a simple project and yet so useful. I definitely think I’ll scout post holiday sales for some place mats to try this!
