Making Something out of Nothing: Awesome AND Easy Napkin Rings for ANY occasion!

A while back I was having the fam. over for Easter... and it was my very first time hosting a holiday for them so, of course, I wanted to make it extra special! This meant table decorations, tablecloths, fabric napkins.... the usual... but it was still missing something... NAPKIN RINGS! Nothing makes a table look fancier than some napkin rings! But the guests were arriving in a few hours, certainly not enough time to make a target run to buy some...so what does a crafty gal do? She makes her own!

You really only need three things (plus some scissors):

• A glue gun (or regular Elmers glue or fabric glue, but then you have to wait for it to dry )
• An Empty toilet paper or paper towel roll
• A scrap of Fabric (any kind... i used burlap cause its also what I used to make a table runner, and you don't need much.)

And heres how I did it....(you're essentially just wrapping the paper roll in fabric and glueing it in place... pretty simple! But just in case, here are some directions!)

Step 1:

Cut the paper roll into pieces that are 1/2 - 1 inch wide (depending on how thick you'd like the napkin ring to be.)

Step 2:

Cut out a strip of fabric twice the width of the paper roll and about 4 inches long

Step 3:

Center the paper roll on the fabric. At the end of the fabric strip, place a dot of glue and adhere the fabric to the paper roll.

Step 4:

Fold the fabric over the edge of the roll and glue in place. (you will be glueing the fabric to the inside of the roll)

Step 5:

Glue down the other end of the fabric so all ends are nice and flush with the roll.

and you're done! So easy! and, like i said, you can use ANY fabric! Maybe you need some last minute fourth of July themed napkin rings?

Be creative and enjoy!

Happy (almost) 4th!!
