Homemade Christmas Napkin Rings
Do you love the holidays as much as my family does? It isn’t all about the gifts. I love the season over all.
We just love the holidays. From the stories at church, to decorations at home and seeing the lights around the town, it’s so special.
Each year I try to come up with new ideas on how we can decorate without spending a fortune. This year I thought I would share a few ideas.
How to make napkin rings:
This year you too can make these “fancy” napkin rings using using just cardboard tubes and wrapping paper. You don’t have to be the craftiest person in the world to be able to accomplish this task.
All you have to be able to do is cut and glue. Anyone can do that!
Supplies needed:
- Metallic looking wrapping paper with each side a different color. (You can find these at Walmart, the dollar store, and some craft stores.)
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
- Cardboard Tubing (you can use paper towel tubes, gift wrap tubes or toilet paper rolls)
How to make Christmas napkin rings:
Step 1: Cut the Cardboard tubes
Take the cardboard tubing and cut it into approximately one inch rings. It is ok to flatten the tubes some when you cut them.
Just be sure when you are done cutting them you shape them back.
Step 2: Cut the Wrapping paper into 1 inch strips.
Now you need to cut the wrapping paper in to one inch strips. They do not have to be precise.
Just try and get them around that size. You will need two strips for each napkin holder.
Step 3: Glue the Strips to the rings.
To start the wrapping we need to secure one end of a strip to the cut tube. To do this, use a small dot of hot glue.
Step 4: Wrap the paper around the rings.
Now, we can start wrapping it around the ring. Each time you run a piece inside the ring do a small twist of it. By doing that, you will flip it over and end up with alternating colors on the out side of the ring.
When you run out, just start the next piece just like you did the first. When you have the ring fully wrapped end the tail of the wrap so it is on the inside.
Secure it with a dab of hot glue. Your ring will look similar to the one below.
Step 5: Slide in a cloth napkin.
Add in a napkin and your holiday table just got fancy!! No folding necessary.
This DIY is so easy.
Now you have yourself a fancy napkin ring with very little effort and very little money.
