DIY Special occasion napkins: mother's day, birthday, father's day, and 'love you'

On birthdays and holidays, my kids are always really, really excited about breakfast in bed.It’s a family tradition that we always have done, and our daughter makes sure that we never forget to wake her up early to help make the breakfast. One thing she is excellent at is getting out the fancy custom napkins and plates and setting up our breakfast in bed tray.

Custom Cloth Napkins

Plain white cloth napkins are beautiful on their own, but I wanted to make ours festive for each special occasion we might use them for! This is an easy project to make with Cricut and you can customize them as much as you want! 

How to make custom napkins with iron-on:

Choose designs in Cricut Design Space, or create your own. For these, I searched ‘love’ ‘mother’s day,’ and so on, within the Cricut Access gallery and found all of these pre-made designs to use. 

You can make any kind of personalized napkins with this tutorial. If you want to create your own design, just design it in Cricut Design Space, and follow our tutorial for how to apply the iron-on to cloth napkins.
