Tutorial Tuesday-Quick Napkin Rings

Tue, Sep 30, 2008

Fall, Home Decor, Special Occasions

Alright, how about another super quick project? I found this awesome clear transparency “paper” from Hambly Prints (I love Hambly Prints!) and thought it would look really fallish with an orange background. Is fallish a word? Anyway, here are the directions:

Cut a 12″ long, 1 1/2″ wide strip of the orange paper. Cut in half and this will be the base for two napkin rings.
Cut a 12″ long, 1″ wide strip of the transparency paper. Cut this one in half as well.

From here, you can make the more modern one, or the one with the ribbon.

Modern: Wrap around and staple. All done!

Ribbon: Set two eyelets about 1/4″ inside of the ends. Tie with a coordinating ribbon. Done!

These will make great, simple party decorations. Use Halloween paper, or bold geometric paper for a birthday! If your napkins are patterned, try using a colored vellum… that way you get a little of the pattern showing through.
Happy Crafting!
