Tools and materials:

1. Pick out your pattern
Check the Christmas napkins on sale at Walmart or Dollar Store, and pick out the pattern you’d like to transfer to your purse.

2. Prepare your napkin
Separate the patterned layer of napkin from the back, if your napkins or 2-layered.
3. Cover your purse
You’re going to use Mod Podge and a craft brush to apply the decorative napkin to your purse.

Open the flap of your purse, and then lay the napkin, pattern side up, on the front of your purse, on top of the Mod Podge.
Use your hand to make the napkin nice and smooth.
Flip over your purse and apply Mod Podge to the back of your purse.
Bring the decorative napkin around to the back and smooth it over the back of your purse.
