Here's some of the jars I put the soap in and dropped mini tree ornaments in with them...

I like to use plaids or checks that are woven into the fabric, as opposed to printed fabric where the design only appears on one side. I find this kind easier to cut on the grain and longer lasting. I just use the feel test for softness. Usually 100% cotton is the softest, but I do use some cotton blends. For gift napkins or more formal ones, I do a folded hem with mitered corners. For everyday ones, I serge around the edges using a rolled hem.

Linen makes very soft napkins and sometimes you can find it in the bargain section of Jo-Anne's.

You know, looking at those cute little wire baskets - perhaps that would be an idea instead of buying egg cartons, sell em in wire baskets? It would be CUTE, not sure how much work that would involve!

Thanks Purr and BearSwampChick - I'll be visiting JoAnns in the near future and will scope out the bargain bin for some nice napkin fabric.

Thanks again for the great ideas on here everybody!

Are you gonna try the baskets Amy? Wire cutters and needle nosed pliers and clean chicken wire and you're set to go!

Hey, you guys never said what floam is?!!! The suspense is killing me!!!

Is it like playdough?! Sillyputty?

I'm jealous of the linen napkins too!!! Not a sewer ...hahahaha!!! just looked at that again!!! sewer!!, lol!!! Not a SEAMSTRESS!!! Well, not a sewer either, sewer mouth sometimes though, lol!!!....but no sewing person here and those sound so nice!!!Wouldn't they be great in a basket with some home made wine and 2 goblets with home made wine charms??!!!! Very cool!!!

Hey, you guys never said what floam is?!!! The suspense is killing me!!! lau lau lau Is it like playdough?! Sillyputty?

sorry lol I don't really know how to describe it, but it is the stuff that looks like it is made out of the little tiny foam balls (like the ones they have in bean bags)and some sort of colored gooey stuff to keep them together. Moldable clay, almost, but with little foam balls. That's the best description I can do!

You can see it in the kids craft isle at craft stores. It comes in little tubs and sells for like $7 a piece. It's horribly expensive!
