Put A Ring On It

Add some handmade bling or rustic charm
to your finest napkins.

 

Using simple materials, you can create your own
beautiful napkin rings to match the feel and look
of your table. Here’s how:

 

 

TWIG NAPKIN RING:

1. Cut cardboard tube to desired width.

2. Cut twigs the same length of the tube and attach with a glue gun.

 

WRAPPED RAFFIA OR RIBBON NAPKIN RING:

1. Cut cardboard tube to desired width.

2. Glue one end of a long piece of fabric, ribbon or raffia to the
inside of a tube and wrap the rest until tube is covered.

3. Glue the end to the inside of the tube to finish.

NOTE: If using fabric, fold it in half and iron to achieve a finished edge

 

 

FABRIC FLOWER NAPKIN RING:

1. Using paper templates, trace and cut multiple circles of synthetic fabric in different sizes.
NOTE: By folding the fabric in half twice before placing your circles, you can cut multiple
circles at once to save time.

2. Cut five slits about three-quarters of an inch around each circle. Use your scissors to
round the corners of each petal.

3. Using a tea light and a pair of tweezers carefully melt the edges of the fabric to create
flower petals.

4. Stack and sew petals together in the middle. Add beads if desired.

5. Glue finished flower to tube wrapped with ribbon or fabric. (see instructions above
for fabric wrapped ring)

 

 

BEADED NAPKIN RING:

1. Wrap a piece of thick wire around a tube a few times to create a ring.

2. Cut a very long piece of thin wire and attach it to your ring.

3. Begin winding it around and through the ring, adding a bead to the wire each
time you wind. (wind, add a bead, wind, add a bead…)

4. You may need to go ‘round the entire circumference of the ring two or three times
to achieve the layered look you want.

Impress your guests with this fun and easy project.
