Prepare a printed paper napkin by removing the extra ply layers leaving only one printed layer.

Apply a coat of decoupage to the entire container. If you’re using a wooden surface or a painted surface, make sure it’s smooth and lightly painted before decoupaging.

Allow the decoupage glue to dry completely.

Place a napkin on top of the container and gently press down with your fingers. Trim off any excess.

Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the napkin and take your heated iron and gently rub it back and forth.
