How To Make These Napkin Rings

Step 1: DIY Delight: Measuring Moss For An Elegant Finishing Touch

This is a good time to plug in your hot glue gun.

Cut Moss

Next, using sharp scissors cut six strips of moss. Carefully remove the backing of the first strip, the self-stick moss is very sticky.

Step 3: Stick and Style: Elevating Your Own Napkin Rings With A Hot Glue Gun

Using a hot glue gun, add a thin line of hot glue. This will make sure the moss is going to stick to the napkin ring.  Remember to use caution when using a hot glue gun.
