A simple lino-block print on recycled sheet pieces can make some pretty, personal napkins.

Ripping the sheet makes nice-looking frayed edges.

You could carve a rubber stamp instead of a lino-block if you prefer.

Roll some ink evenly onto your carved block and start stamping it onto your napkins. It's a good idea to test it first on a piece of scrap fabric to make sure it looks good. Press it evenly onto the fabric with your hands, or use an extra roller (or a rolling pin or glass bottle) to press it down.

I use a spare roller to evenly press the block onto the fabric.

Lift the block straight up carefully, and there you go!

My layer of ink was a bit thick on this print, making the edges a little messy.

Let the napkins dry, heat-set the print according to the instructions on the ink, and you've got some monogrammed napkins for your wedding (or just for fun)!
