Lazy Susan Redo: Decoupage With Napkins
Lazy Susans are just so handy. When I find them at thrift shops, I snag them up. They are great for organizing in cabinets, nice for serving pieces on the table or counter, a quick spin for decorating cakes, and even used as a pedestal for serving food.
So when I saw this HUGE one at the thrift shop, I grabbed it for the size. But made of general manufactured product and not wood, the only way to make it better is to cover it.

I chose to decoupage it with these dollar store napkins from a leftover project.
AND, I saw this beautiful old French clock face on Pinterest and wanted to use it. So I sized it to one full sheet of paper, printed it and cut it out to add to the center
It took one and a half napkins to cover this lazy susan. I cut the paper to over hang and go over the sides.
Once I had the napkins and the clock face glued on, I used Mod Podge to decoupage over the entire surface and the underside.
It still bubbled a little and it didn't take too long to dry. (A couple of hours)
Most of the wrinkles and bubbles were gone when it dried. Then to protect it and make it easy to clean from spills, I sealed it with coat of polyurethane.

What a great idea--and you did such a beautiful job on it! I love that you added the clock face to the center to really make the whole project pop. I also appreciate how lovely the final display photo arrangement is. :)
