To Make A Set of 6 Embossed Velvet Christmas Holly Leaf Napkins You Will need:

2 Yards Rayon Velvet (cream, hunter green, red, or blue)
Water Spray Bottle
Rubber holly leaf Stamp
Iron
Sewing Machine and Thread
Clean white dishtowel

Start by cutting out 12 1 foot by 1 foot pieces of velvet out. These 12 pieces will make 6 dinner napkins.
Preheat your iron to a medium setting. Next, Place rubber Christmas holly leaf stamp face up on ironing board.
Place the velvet nap side down on stamp. Make sure the fabric is lying smoothly over the stamp. This will create the clearest image possible.

Cover the velvet fabric napkin with the clean white dishcloth. Now, mist the towel lightly with water form the spray bottle.
Using the iron, Press the velvet onto Christmas stamp for 15 seconds. Do not move iron around on the stamp. It is important to hold the iron perfectly still.

Now, Lift iron off and peel the velvet fabric back to reveal stamped holly leaf design.

Repeat this process moving your Christmas holly leaf stamps around the velvet. If you want to create a pattern you can mark it out ahead of time with small dots on the back of the material. You could also create a border with a smaller holly leaf pattern around the napkin. Fill in the middle with one large Christmas themed stamp or a bunch of medium sized Christmas themed stamps.

Once you have embossed all of your napkin fabric you can sew them together.
