DIY Gold Confetti Napkins

Make your own gold metallic confetti napkins with simple tools. You could even make matching place mats or table runners and table cloths.

I know I caught you eyeing the spinach artichoke cheese ball I shared yesterday, but did you also notice the fun napkin that was part of the display? I made that! All it took was some multipurpose acrylic paint and a pencil eraser (and some time). I bought a pack of 12 black cotton napkins from Bed Bath & Beyond (for $15 and had a $5 off coupon) and Martha Stewart gold metallic multi-surface paint from JoAnn Fabrics (I forget the price as I bought it a long time ago but I used a 50% off coupon).

Next, I created a confetti pattern by dipping the eraser of a pencil into the paint and dabbing randomly, thicker at the edge and sparser as I got further away. I had to dip the eraser every 2 dots so it was a bit tedious but easy! I think this would look great on other colored napkins and also with multiple colors for a funfetti-confetti look. Would be a great craft for holidays and gift ideas too.

On an unrelated note, what I really should have posted today was a peanut butter and chocolate recipe or maybe a buckeye craft because today is the Ohio State football spring game! Time to check out the new recruits and see some of the veterans coming back for the season this fall. And there’s a chance to get your photo taken with the National Championship trophy! After bailing out of a crazy line the last time I may need to stick it out this time.
