Description:
from Wikipedia: Decoupage (or dÃ©coupage) is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf, etc. Commonly an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers. Here is an introduction video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-VUQS__6Pw ................................... So in this swap you will send your partner at least five different paper napkins. Napkins should be pretty and contain patterns, paintings...it can be anything, like: flowers, animals, food, drinks, teddybears....Please send napkins in time and check your partnerÂ´s profile to see what she likes :) AND please pay attention to that napkins are not folded in the envelope; folded napkins tend to have ugly marks :(!

I wonder if you could please explain more about them not being folded in the envelope, please? The ones I buy are already folded in 4 when I get them in the packet, so I usually send them out with the same folds, to avoid putting any extra creases across the design.

Did you mean they have to be mailed opened out completely with a card stiffener...or is it ok to fold them in the way they were folded when purchased?

Hi :) Sorry, I didnÂ´t explain very well. I meant that please donÂ´t fold the napkin to adjust little envelope, but get a bigger envelope where you can put them without folding. The napkinsÂ´ "natural" shape, (fourd foldes) itÂ´s fine, because they are all like that and designed that way :)

I am new here, signed in today. Can I join? And the date, August 7, is the last day to send the napkins, or do you have to send that date?
