How To Make DIY Napkin Rings

Decorating, DIY's & Crafts, , 16 Comments

Let’s make DIY napkin rings! Thanksgiving is around the corner. So, I made new napkin rings.

T`he best part about these DIY napkin rings, they are fast to make. In fact, they are so fast it will amaze you.

First, I began thinking about our Thanksgiving table. Of course I have napkin rings, however, they have beading on them and aren’t my style anymore.

Second, the beading gets everywhere and that drives me crazy. It’s one more thing to clean up and to worry about getting on the floor with our fur babies. Believe it or not, one or two of those beads is asking for a sick tummy, the last thing I need.

So, I remembered, I had bought these seagrass napkin rings. I came up with an idea that makes these DIY napkin rings perfect for Thanksgiving.

Also, I think these will work great for Christmas too.

By the way, these seagrass napkin rings can be found HERE.

Items Needed:

  • napkin rings
  • self stick moss
  • acorn caps
  • scissors
  • glue gun and glue sticks

First using a piece of leftover ribbon, I measured the length I’d needed to cut my moss for my napkin rings.

By the way, this is a good time to heat the glue gun.

Next, using a good scissors I cut six strips of moss for my DIY napkin rings. Then, I carefully remove the backing of my first strip of moss. I say carefully because the self stick moss I buy is very sticky.

Next, I added a thin line of hot glue. I did this because, I wanted to make sure the moss will stay put.

Lastly, add a bit of glue to the edge of the acorn tops and attach. I added three but one looks pretty too.

I also love these because they keep with how I enjoy using natural elements in our home.  You can see more examples HERE.

I look forward to sharing my Thanksgiving table with you next week!
