Summer Cocktail Napkins

May 29, 2018~ Cocktails, DIY and craft projects, sewing, Summer

I’m feeling summer in my bones. Wether it actually arrives is another question, but for now it can’t be stopped when it comes to decor and DIYs. I painted some awesome // plaid & lemon glasses // last week and put together our summer patio with // painted patio tiles //, and now I’ve got some summer cocktail napkins ready for entertaining. these were easy to put together, colourful, and a great addition to any summer bar cart.

What good is a cocktail, without summer cocktail napkins in fun and breezy colours?! Make your own inspired by these, and get a head start on summer entertaining and your summer bar cart.

It’s actually quite simple to make these, just like any of the other napkins I’ve made, like my // DIY monogram napkins //, and my // original cocktail napkins.//

Materials for Summer Cocktail Napkins

  • 1/4 yard of fabrics in your desired patterns. I love gingham for summer, so I used a purple and green, as well as some of the cool Cotton & Quill samples I bought earlier this spring. Crocheted daisies are optional.
  • Sewing Machine
  • Iron + Ironing Pad
  • Ribbons + Trim
  • Hot Glue Gun

Step 1: Start by cutting the size you want for the napkins. I eyeballed it for my first piece, and then made all the others the same size. It was simple and easy. When in doubt, use the paper folding technique you use when you want to make a square from a standard sheet of paper (aka fold a corner up until it hits the edge)

Step 2: Using a sewing machine, hem all the pieces so that they make a tidy little square.

Step 3: Using some ribbon and trim, deck-out your summer cocktail napkins! I added a little scarf to one of the dragons, added a yellow pom pom trim to one of the purple ginghams, and then turned the daisies into flowers on the corner of the others.

For the daisies, I used a lovely Kelly green green ribbon to act as a stem and leaf. I glue them to the back of the daisy head, and then glued it to the corner of one of my summer cocktail napkins.

My summer cocktail napkins are SO easy to put together, and just require the right colour combinations. So let lose! Chose patterns and shades that will compliment your entertaining gear, and get to it.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
