Cut the image from the paper napkins out
Remove the backing from the tissue paper, making it as thin as possible
Varnish the image in PU (to seal the image) and leave to dry
In the meantime paint your object- in this case our tray in oil wood paint (you do not have to do this step if you are planning on covering the entire tray with images ect).
