Napkins
We are starting from a napkin tutorial – the napkin is done in the soft shades of grey that will be a nice idea for soft and ethereal spring decor. The craft is about dip dying the napkins – nothing difficult here! Achieve the shades and colors that you like and add stylish napkins to the setting to make it awesome.

Make napkins that aren’t only trendy ombre ones but also naturally dyed! Turmeric and blueberries were used to make these napkins, and the result is pretty pink and orange – all-natural, no chemicals! Achieve as intense colors as you need and try to use other natural dyers for other shades. This way you can make any linens, not only napkins, so get inspired!
