Materials:
Glassware, plates, wine or beverage glasses, canning jars, etc.
Napkins in desired prints
Gold leaf pen
alcohol
ModPodge dishwasher safe formula
Small paintbrush
Instructions:
First, choose your napkin. Then, separate the layers of the napkin so that you are only using the printed piece.
Next, choose your clear glass item. For plates and dishes make sure the right side of the napkin is showing through the glass, so you will have to apply the ModPodge to the wrong side of the napkin. If using beverage or wine glasses, apply the napkin right side up on the outside of the glass, but about an inch or so from the rim so that your lips will only touch the glass when using.
Now, measure and cut the right size for the area you are covering with the napkin. Then, using the small paintbrush, liberally apply some ModPodge to the surface. Immediately place the prepared napkin piece.
Next, brush a coat of ModPodge on the napkin. Wrinkles are fine and give the piece added texture. Let it dry for a couple hours and then apply two more coats of the ModPodge as necessary. Let dry completely. It will be dishwasher safe or you can hand wash after it cures for about 28 days.
