Materials:
• Napkins (paper with a pattern).
• PVA glue.
• Scissors.
• Canvas or plain cotton material.
• Iron.
• Parchment paper.
There are usually several pictures on napkins; first, cut out the motif you like or several.
For the master class, 2 pictures were used: one with a chicken, the other with Christian symbols (a bowl, the Bible).
The next stage: adjust the material to the size of the drawing. To do this, we apply the cut out motif onto the canvas.
Even if the napkin is a little wrinkled, this is not a problem; at the final stage everything will be smoothed out.
Working with canvas is very simple - cut out a rectangle of the required size, no need to mark anything.
If the canvas frays around the edges, it is worth cutting off a little extra in order to remove the untidy ends.
The napkin should be put aside, and the canvas should be placed on a craft mat or other surface that does not absorb glue.Cover the surface of the material evenly with PVA glue, leaving no gaps.
Leave the glue to dry for a few minutes, at this time turn on the iron and let it warm up. Set the maximum temperature and turn off the steam mode.
Take the drawing and carefully apply it to the fabric soaked in glue.
On top is a layer of parchment that will protect the napkin and prevent it from sticking to the hot iron.
Iron the napkin, this usually takes 2-3 minutes.
Carefully lift the parchment from the corner. It should come away freely; if it sticks, you need to hold the hot iron over it a little longer.
The napkin may bend in the corners, this problem can be easily corrected. We place the napkin in a large book, or put it under pressure.
If the picture is glued unevenly around the edges, you can trim it, the picture will not come off.
The shape of the napkin does not have to be rectangular; you can make it round.
The finished, completely dry napkin can be coated with acrylic varnish - then it is not afraid of any dirt or moisture.
