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.

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!

So cute, love your strategic placement of the dots! My natural tendency would have just been dots all over, but I like what you did instead.

File this under “How have I never thought of this before?!”

Also good that I can file it under “DIY I am actually capable of doing.”

Love love love it.
