Notes

 

Fall Napkin Rings in Minutes for Your Holiday Table

 

Step 1: Measuring Moss for DIY Napkin Rings

 
I was too lazy to get the measuring tape out, so, I grabbed a piece of leftover ribbon. It was on my craft table. If you use empty paper towel rolls, measure 2" - 2 and a half inches high. 
This is a good time to plug in your hot glue gun.  
Cindy's Safety Tip: Remember to use caution with a glue gun, especially around children and pets.

Step 2: Cutting Moss

 

Measure the length needed to cut the moss, length 7". Next, using sharp scissors cut six strips of moss. Carefully remove the backing of the first strip, self-stick moss is very sticky.

Step 3: Elevating Your Napkin Ring

 
Use your hot glue gun, and add a little bit of hot glue to the strip of moss.
Cindy's Moss Tip: Even though the moss is sticky, I recommend using a bit of hot glue. This will ensure the moss sticks. Remember to use caution with a glue gun, especially around children and pets.

Step 4: Embellish the Napkin Holders

 

Add a little bit of hot glue to the acorn top and attach it to the moss. Lastly, add a thin coat of matte Modge Podge or spray sealer matte Mod Podge to the moss. This will prevent moss from shedding on your table during Thanksgiving dinner! I apologize, my husband did this in the garage and forgot to snap a picture. He usually remembers.

That's it! I told you these napkin rings would only take a little time and there would be easy steps to create the perfect finishing touch to add to all your fall celebrations.  The fun part was only needing a minimal skill level to cut the moss and hot glue.
