DIY dotted placemat

If at any point in the near(ish) future you are having a dinner party and you need cute placemats. . . make these. 

All you need? Martha Stewart metallic acrylic paint (or any kind of craft paint), some tool to "dot" with, and a plain placemat.










diy gold-dipped feathers coming soon!

  1. Oh my gosh! That is adorable. If I had craft paint I would dip and dot everything in sight! Probably good that I don't! Haha!
