First we separate the napkin if it is made up of layers, and we keep only the one with the designs on it.
We start in the corner and carefully peel away the layers.
Now comes the fun!
We decide where to put the designs, or if we should cover the box completely.

Using a paintbrush, doing one side of the box at a time, cover the box sparingly with the glue mixture. Then glue down the napkin on that portion of the box. Now, again sparingly, paint over the napkin with the glue. Here comes the hardest part-letting it dry completely! ( If you wish, you can shellac over it when it dries, the shellac gives a lovely finish)
Hey, look what we made!
If you didn't know better, you would think that we painted these beautiful flowers on our boxes!
Such talent!
