Create-Your-Own Santa Napkin Rings to Enhance Your Christmas Table Setting
Ready to jazz up your Christmas dinner table? These Santas napkin rings are a cute and easy DIY project, even if you've never crafted before! Here's what you need:
- Cardboard tubes (AKA the same toilet paper rolls you recycle)
- Red felt
- Gold glitter craft foam or ribbon
- Black glitter ribbon
- Faux fur ribbon or fabric
- Ruler, scissors, and a hot glue gun
No skill required! Let's get started:
- Cut the cardboard tubes in half, bending them back into shape. Each half is about 2 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter.
- Cut strips of red felt, about 1 3/4 inches wide and 6 1/4 inches long for overlap. Adjust according to the size of your toilet paper rolls.
- Wrap the red felt around the toilet paper roll, using hot glue to secure it.
- Add a strip of black glitter ribbon around the middle of each napkin ring, folding in the ends to attach it to itself.
- Cut a small square of gold craft foam or paper for the belt buckle.
- Attach a small square of black ribbon to the center of the gold square with hot glue.
- Press the gold buckle down onto the black ribbon with hot glue.
- Finally, wrap faux fur ribbon or fabric around the top and bottom edges of each napkin ring to add a festive finishing touch.
Kids could even make their own for the kids' table! Don't forget to enjoy the holiday season without breaking the bank, my friends[1][2]!
