With these instructions, we'll show you how to create your own spring basket and decorate it with the filigree napkin technique . This individual basket is perfect as an Easter nest to present colorful eggs or small surprises. Let's get creative and add a personal and seasonal touch to your Easter table!

Start your project by tying the wicker basket according to the instructions provided. rattan cane is a flexible material that is ideal for weaving.

Once your basket is finished weaving, paint the inner base with white acrylic paint . This primer will ensure that your chosen napkin motif stands out well later on. Allow the paint to dry completely before continuing.

Take the time to carefully remove the top layer of your napkin from the layers underneath. You only need the printed, thin motif layer for the design.

Before you apply the motif, coat the dried base plate with a thin layer of napkin varnish. This special varnish acts as an adhesive and ensures that the motif adheres well. Carefully place the napkin on the prepared surface. Work from the center to the edges to avoid wrinkles and air bubbles. Press gently and evenly to achieve a smooth, flawless look.

To finally secure the motif, coat it again with napkin varnish. This final layer fixes the napkin permanently to the substrate and protects it from external influences.

Now take the protruding edges of the napkin and carefully tear off the inner edge so that it fits perfectly on the base plate. Brush over the edges one last time with the napkin varnish to ensure that everything is well fixed and no loose ends remain.
