Good day everyone! Today, I am sharing how to Mod Podge on wood with paper napkins. You can find pretty napkins just about everywhere. In today’s preview I am using napkins from the Dollar tree and some I recently found at Marshall’s. Both projects I am sharing are very cute, yet very different. When I shared this live on my Facebook there were mixed reviews on the favorite. Some liked the yellow board better while others loved the stain. I personally loved the stain. It just goes to show we all have different taste and styles. Hence, is why I like to share different variations of my projects.
With Christmas right around the corner I have been a busy elf crafting my Christmas gifts early. I actually am almost finished. It’s been an absolute joy. Now to figure out who gets what. I have a general idea. I hope they all like them. Some of course, I am keeping for myself.
This one here is my favorite. I used my new stencil Home is where the heart is for the very first time.
The texture is fabulous on the stained board with the napkins I used from Marshall’s. You know the gel stain is my favorite to use. It dries quickly, and is not messy like the other stains.
I did absolutely nothing to this board after I Mod podged the napkins. Oh for the record, I like to call Mod Podge, MODGE podged. I was corrected of course by a troll on my live video. Turns out most of you call it MODGE as well. Let’s just stick to that, shall we?
I love the chalky red paint used on this board.
The napkin prints really show through.
And that’s how I roll was a favorite for most. Perhaps because the napkins are just adorable. I bet though they would look really cute on the stained board too. These napkins came from the Dollar tree. They will have a lot right now, so hurry up and go grab a few packs.
Now for the video tutorial. I have been editing down these videos a lot. Although, still a bit chatty, not nearly as much so compared to the live video. I do enjoy talking with you all though, so it’s my natural way unedited. But I do know you clearly don’t have all the time in the world to hear me gab.
Links to stencils directly to Amazon down below. Thank you so much for your business and all your support. I hope you feel you are learning along the way and perhaps even trying stenciling out for the first time. Trust me, you will be hooked when you see the artist you truly are.

November 12 at 1:17 pmHey Debbie……….I love this idea. Even I can do this one. So easy, and especially inexpensive. I even have some napkins I bought at the Dollar store just because I liked them. But just remember, Debbie, you are no one until you’ve been scolded by a troll. I guess now you have arrived. Every single person I know who crafts says Modge Podge. How sad to think all the troll has to do is hang out under the bridge all day, waiting to correct someone’s pronunciations. Sad, sad troll.

November 13 at 12:13 amHi, Debbie! You are really going to town creatively speaking! I would like to try one of these. There are so many pretty napkins out there I think they really make attractive backgrounds for the stenciling. What kind of Modge Podge do you use? I’ve never used it before.
Love your new stencil, too.

November 13 at 5:13 pmHi Naomi, I used the traditional mod podge in the matte finish for these projects. You can find them all most anywhere now, even Walmart.

November 15 at 12:09 pmWhat size are the boards you use for the napkin mog lodge n what’s the best wood to use?
debbiedoo's says
November 15 at 12:16 pmThese boards were 20×9, but next time I would have them cut smaller to perhaps 17X9. The boards I purchased at Lowe’s hardware and I bought a Pine board and had them cut it for me there, for free:)
Sue says
March 7 at 5:42 pmDo you cover the painted stencil with mod podge for a more finished look/ feel to the wood?
debbiedoo's says
March 9 at 7:53 amYes, you can do that for certain.

November 2 at 7:29 amYou inspired me, why would you sand it and where? ❤️❤️❤️ You projects 🎄
debbiedoo's says
November 2 at 9:01 amHi Julie, I sanded it because I wanted it to look a bit more weathered and distressed. I sanded it lightly on the top and sides of ornaments. It is a personal preference.
