Step
1

Begin by measuring out the length of lace needed for your banner. Then you can start to place the napkins down to get an idea of how many napkins you will need.

Each napkin will be cut in half so you can take that into consideration when figuring out your napkin total.

*Make sure you give yourself some extra slack on each end for hanging.

Now dust off that sewing machine.

All you need to do is sew a straight stitch.

Place the lace on top of a napkin and start to sew.

I used the front section of my machine to measure when to add the next napkin. You can eyeball this pretty easily too.
