A creative way of making napkin rings

This creative way of making napkin rings will bring beautiful eco-friendly decor to your table. Perfect for your Thanksgiving dining table decor, Christmas dining table decor, or for any occasion.

I created this project because I wanted to have a beautiful table setting for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And continuing with My Journey to Green, I wanted to create something from recycled materials and natural materials.

I love how these napkin rings turned out, and because I used neutral colors, I can adapt them to any occasion.

How can I adapt it to different occasions?

It is easy to adapt it to different occasions by adding elements under the ring. Adding aromatic flowers or stalks will not only looks beautiful but will also bring a pleasant aroma to the table.

For example:

Christmas decor: You can add a pine stem or rosemary stem.

Spring Decor: eucalyptus stem, or maybe a beautiful tulip.

Summer Decor: You can add a lavender stem or sage.

More decor ideas: Add a paper cut out of butterflies, bunnies, ladybugs amount others and glue it to double-sided tape. This will make it easy to take it out after the event.

Make these napkin rings with your kids.

Make this project easy for kids’ crafts by using burlap ribbon and gluing it with school glue. Let them create a beautiful cutout. Go outside and let them choose nature findings to add to the napkin rings for decoration.

Personalized it

Create name tags and add them with a ribbon or jute twine to personalize your napkin rings.
