DIYNAPKINS A LA CANNABIS

By Tina Fanucchi-Frontado There’s just so much to love about cannabis. She not only has gifted us with an incredible array of healing and soothing treasures, she’s undeniably, without question, drop-dead gorgeous! Her delicate but passionately confident leaves display a deep and loving expression of true modern-day gracefulness and Old World wisdom. Just the mere hint of her, resonates a knowing of undeniable soulfulness.

The beauty of Lady Cannabis translates beautifully inside the home, and these easy DIY napkins are the perfect side dish to any meal. Dress them up or make them casual — it’s your call. Why not have them on your table tonight.

THE PROCESS

Tools & Materials

• Cotton or Linen Napkins

• Acrylic Paint

• Stencil Brush

• Cannabis leaf stencil (I found mine online.)

Steps 1. Gather the tools and materials necessary. 2. Pre-wash and dry napkins. 3. Iron them to ensure a flat surface. 4. Load color(s) onto brush.* 5. Place stencil on napkin then gently tap color into design. Painters tape will hold the napkin in place if necessary. 6. Allow to dry 24 hours. 7. Re-wash napkins to eliminate the rough feel of paint. 8. Bravo!

*Don’t overload with paint. Dab just the end of the bristles into the color(s) you want. Less paint gives you more control over the design.
