Why I love this craft
I love finding craft inspiration in unexpected places… like napkins, or greeting cards. Do you ever see the artwork on something and think you just have to keep it? That’s how I feel about the pattern on the spring napkins used in this project!

Spring Decoupage Mini Sign
Use a spring napkin and Mod Podge on a dollar store unfinished wood slat sign to make this spring decoupage mini sign.
Materials
- Unfinished Wooden Mini Slatted Sign (Dollar Tree)
- Decorative Spring Napkins
- Mod Podge (matte)
- Parchment Paper
Tools
Instructions
- Watch the video tutorial before you begin, and let that be your visual guide for this craft.
- Apply mod podge. Use a 1" paintbrush to apply a solid coat of mod podge onto the front of the mini slatted sign. Let the mod podge dry.
- Trim the napkin. Use scissors to trim the napkin piece (if necessary) to that the design is spaced over the slats the way you like. This is important mostly for any text that might get lost in the slatted spaces.
- Heat press the napkin. Separate the 2-ply napkin, leaving only the ply with the print. Cut away the perforated end, leaving only the smooth part of the napkin. Lay it over the dry mod podged surface followed by a piece
of parchment paper. Use a mini heat press to re-activate the mod podge and secure the napkin to the wood surface.
- Sand off additional napkin. Using a sanding block, gently sand around the wood edges to remove the extra napkin.
- Final heat press. Lay the parchment paper over the sign, and re-press the napkin to ensure no loose edges.
Notes
If you do not have a heat press tool, use an iron on the low setting.
The Finished Spring Sign
This quick spring craft is a great way to add a little pop of color to any space in your home!
I displayed the mini sign in a small wreath on this Paint Stick Picket Fence that I made last year.
