What to do with a Napkin?

I survived the NCT sale yesterday intact and with no visible bruising and came away with some cheap and cheerful bits for my boy.  So I had yesterday afternoon at home chilling out and sorting through crafty bits I have floating around.  I came across some Cath Kidston Napkins and some blank wooden hearts I had bought at Christmas but never got round to doing anything with.



Well Scarlett decided to get crafty. You know me, I like things which are easy to do so I cut hearts out of the napkins:
And with a little Mod Podge glue I fixed these to the wooden hearts, hey presto:

Added some Jute string and some ribbon:


Job done!  Cutesy floral hearts! These are currently hanging from my bed head much to the annoyance of hubby as I continue to turn the master bedroom into Scarlett's Boudoir! haha.  Maybe I should give him the spare bedroom to turn into a floral and vintage free man den...

Happy Monday All

    hahahah same like my man,he would grunt a little each time I put more floral and pink and cute things in our bedroom!! I do love what you did with the wooden hearts, I bought the same stuff in ebay last year but i've used them already , now this makes me want to buy more of those wooden hearts and find floral patterned napkin to stick on it! Thanks for sharing!! it's soo beautiful, i love the cath kidston's floral napkin!!

    Scarlett, is there no end to your talents? Not only are you a bargain huntress extraordinaire, but you're a crafty little minx too! Love the craft project, the simpler - the better in my book.

    Those hearts are great............so simple yet so effective! I never seem to get time to think of doing little bits like that..............too busy working or decorating! I am hoping that we can stop decorating by the time the summer comes and then I might have time for fiddling!!
    My hubbys just given up and goes along with the flowers, hearts, spots, cupcakes and pink bits! lol!

    Cute idea! Where did you find Cath Kidston Napkins, they would be great for little projects like you did. I am visiting from Debbie Doos and and I am your newest follower, hope you will stop by for a visit and follow me back.
