2. Place the paper napkin over the mod podge and use your hands to spread it evenly onto the tray. 

3. Add pieces of the napkin over all the open spaces until it is evenly covered. 

4. As it starts to dry, use an x-acto knife, or something similar, to remove the excess napkin around the edges. 

5. Once the bottom layer of mod podge is dried, apply a thin layer of mod podge to the top of the napkins to seal it. 

6. Once dry, add a thin layer of the outdoor mod podge and let it dry completely.
