Autumn Napkins with Cricut Paper Trimmings Cartridge

I made these cute Autumn napkins quickly and easily with some inexpensive cloth napkins from Walmart and the new Cricut Paper Trimmings Cartridge.
Here's how:

Using the new Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge, I cut leaf2 and leaf2 shift  at 3” and  at 3”.
Then, I followed these instructions:
  1. Iron fabric using heavy starch.  Iron napkins where image will go. Then, Iron Heat ‘n Bond onto back of 8” x 8” square of green fabric and onto back of 8” x 8” square of brown fabric.
  2. Set the blade at 6, speed at 3 and pressure at 6.  Multi-cut 2x. Using Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge, cut at leaf2 shift 3” two times using the brown fabric.   Cut at leaf2 shift 3” two times using green fabric. Remove paper backing.
  3. Carefully layer and and lay onto napkin. Iron on layered image to napkin. Repeat for other napkin. Do NOT over-iron as it won’t stick.


Remember, this cartridge is only available to Cricut Circle Members (see here for details on the Cricut Circle - warning: not sure if this is the first cartridge you get...).

Don't forget I am giving away the Happy Hauntings cartridge:

  3. Really pretty napkins Joy. I'm not very creative with my storage. I keep the booklets in my office in a box (because I have a Gypsy) and the boxes with the cart, overlays are on top of a desk. Thanks for the giveaway!

  8. I love the napkin idea and I might have to try this out. I'm not very good with fabric so this should be a challenge. My cartridges are stored on a book shelf in my craft room. Easy to find.
