As much as we adore creating things that are pretty and fun to look at, we find that it’s nice every once in a while to create something that we might actually use! After all, the more experience you get in your basic crafting and DIY skills, the more useful you’ll find those skills when it comes to making yourself things that you actually need in every day life. We’re grateful for our DIY abilities because sometimes they save us from going to the store for basic household things that we can save money on by making ourselves. The real fun of it, however, comes in being able to make yourself fun things in custom patterns, styles, and colours just because you can!

So, what’s the most recent household item we saved ourselves a trip to the store for by making it at home instead? Well, it was a much simpler thing than you might think; we recently made ourselves napkins! Check out these 15 awesome homemade napkin patterns and ideas that are way easier to make than you might think and totally useful!
