    Just wondering if anyone has made this apron as a gag gift. It's 3 or 4 large paper dinner napkins, stacked together. Fold or cut off 4 inches in one corner and make that end the top, then sew a length or ribbon to make the ties. When the top one gets soiled, tear it off and you have a fresh apron. I want to make one for a luncheon I'm going to, there's an apron contest. I really want to know if it comes with a cute poem explaining what to do with it. Anyone?

    I did not sew it yet. Will be making it in a few days. I made one also a few years ago. Will try to take a pic for you.

    I had to make a rectangle one instead of one on diagonal cause the napkins were rectangular, not square. Don't see where it allows me to post a picture.
