for your summertime table

I am having a renewed love affair with this set of napkins I made last year from a stack of cheap Ikea dish towels. I love all the variations on the nautical blues and whites, and when you convert dish towels into napkins, half the seams are already done for you. Bonus!

The best part is reaching into our drawer, pulling a couple out, and seeing how jaunty they look with any of our mismatched, patterned plates. The combo really perks up a lunch of gussied-up frozen pizza.

Great idea. I never thought to turn towels into napkins. Functional and pretty. I like it!!!

I strictly recommend not to hold back until you get big sum of cash to buy all you need! You can get the loan or just car loan and feel fine
