Looking for a festive way to dress up your dinner table this Thanksgiving? Check out these 25 napkin rings that you can make in an afternoon!
Do you want to add a little something extra to your Thanksgiving dinner table this year? Whether it’s for family or company, I have the perfect DIY projects for you.
Thanksgiving napkin rings are easy and inexpensive to make – so that you can spend less time planning out the decor and more time in the kitchen getting the food ready!
When making napkin rings, there are a few things I always like to keep in mind:
Keep them inexpensive. Use as many recycled materials as possible (ribbon scraps, toilet paper rolls, leftover clay, etc.).
Raid your stash. Look for embellishments like adhesive letters, glitter, buttons, or anything else that you could attach that would be perfect for the holidays.
Combine materials. Use paint, hot glue, Mod Podge, paper, glitter glue, yarn, a die cutter . . . or whatever else you have to make your rings.
If you think about it, a napkin ring is just a circle that holds a piece of fabric. They are usually around 2″ in diameter, so there’s not that much to making them. They’re quick, and perfect for crafters of all skill levels!
Below are 25 cute napkin ring ideas for your Thanksgiving table. Not only would they would be great for the holiday, but you can use them to set the table all fall. Some of these are versatile enough to use all year long.
So, check out these projects and let me know what you think.
