Napkin rings – easy and fabulous!
Sunday, February 10th, 2008Craft supplies
As you see, they are all different. One unchangeable component is 1/3 of paper roll. So for 6 count set you’ll need only two toilet paper rolls!
Craft knife or any other sharp knife (adult’s work!)
Then, as you see on the picture above from left to right: 1) ribbon with bamboo leaves, hot glue; 2) blue acrylic paint, brush, gemstones – flowers, butterflies etc.; 3) kitchen foil, gemstones; 4) Semitransparent glimmer ribbon, hot glue; 5) red satin ribbon with chicks, hot glue
One on the red background (good for Christmas): 15 mini craft sticks, golden acrylic paint, brush, hot glue, about 16 glass stones (for zig-zag design)
One on the black background: blue ribbon, hot glue, light-yellow ribbon
One with beans (good for Thanksgiving day): large Lima beans, roman beans, red kidney beans, black beans, pink beans, yellow split peas, hot glue, acrylic sealer (optional)
Directions
Cut paper roll into three pieces by width
For ribbon: just wrap it over and under and glue the ends inside ring
For paint: paint it over (inside, too), let dry, hotglue embellishments
For foil: wrap the ring with foil, glue gemstones. Gosh it’s fast! 🙂
For craft sticks: hotglue all sticks around the ring, paint, let dry, decorate with glass stones (use hot glue)
For beans: just glue them all over the ring in any design you want. Varnish (optional).
Use rings yourself or present somebody. Handmade is always touching and moving!
