Illuminated pictures made from craft blocks and napkin technique

Would you like to add a personal and creative touch to your home? Then you've come to the right place! With these instructions, you can create a unique light frame in just a few simple steps using napkin technique. Whether you use it to decorate your living room or as a gift for a loved one - your homemade light frame is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher. The combination of craft blocks, napkin technique and a chain of light makes this crafting process particularly exciting and creative.

Light magic: Your DIY-Light frame with napkin technique

Step 1: Make a frame from craft blocks

Start by preparing four wooden blocks. Carefully glue them together to form a square frame. Make sure that all the corners are neatly lined up. Allow the frame to dry thoroughly so that it is firm and stable. This is the basis for your light frame and it should be perfect before you continue. Patience pays off here.

Step 2: Preparations: for the napkin technique

While the frame is drying, take the pinwheel foil and measure it so that it is slightly smaller than the outer frame itself. This will ensure that it fits easily behind the frame later. Cut the foil accordingly.

Step 3: Prepare and transfer the napkin motif

Choose a napkin with a beautiful motif that you like. Cut out a quarter of the motif and carefully peel off the top, printed layer of the napkin . Make sure you do this carefully as the layer is very thin and delicate. Place the motif side of the napkin onto the cut film with the motif side facing down.

Step 4: Apply napkin varnish

Now comes the creative craft work with the napkin varnish. Start in the middle of the napkin and slowly work your way outwards to avoid air bubbles. Apply the napkin varnish to the back of the napkin so that it adheres to the entire surface of the film. Then allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

Step 5: Stick the film to the frame

Now that everything is thoroughly dry, you can stick the finished foil with the napkin motif to the wooden frame

Step 6: Add the magical glow of lights

Take your chain of light and stick it to the back of the foil using hot glue. To do this, apply the glue selectively to the wire of the chain of light so that the chain of light remains securely in place. Be careful when handling the hot glue to avoid burns.

Step 7: Decorate the frame

Now it's time for the finishing touches! Decorate the frame according to your taste. You could write pennants with a special message on them, paint the wooden blocks or cover them with sprinkles. Paint the wooden fir trees with your desired handicraft paint. Your creativity knows no bounds.

Have fun crafting and designing with napkin technique and craft blocks!
