Materials Needed
- cloth napkins
- scissors
- twill tape
- fabric glue
Step 1
Cut 3/4-inch-wide twill tape (available at fabric stores) into three 20-inch pieces.
Step 2
Place two napkins side by side facedown, so they lie flush next to each other.
Step 3
Coat one piece of tape with fabric glue (despite its name, twill tape isn’t sticky), then lay it over the seam between the napkins.
Step 4
Repeat with the other two pieces of tape to connect four napkins.
