STAM P E D
NAPKINS
Create crosshatch-
patterned napkins
with a clever DIY
stamp. Make the
stamp by wrapping
rubber bands
horizontally around a
3"×4" wood block.
Mask off the outside
edge of the napkin
with painters tape.
Dab fabric paint onto
rubber bands;
press onto a napkin
corner. Reapply paint,
rotate stamp
90 degrees, and
press onto first marks.
Repeat to fill border.

Brighten a rectangle
of cane webbing
(the kind used on
chair seats and
backs) by weaving
a stripe of yarn
along one edge. Fray
the edges of a
13"×18" piece of Fine
Box Cane (caneand
basket.com). Then
use an embroidery
needle to weave four
columns of yarn an
inch from the edge.
EGG CUPS
Your hand-dyed eggs
deserve pretty
perches. These egg
holders are made
from cane webbing.
For each one, cut a
3"×5½" strip of Fine
Fine Open ⁷/16" Mesh
Cane (caneand
basket.com). Fray one
long edge, roll into a
cylinder, and secure
overlapped edges
with hot glue. ■
