Looking to add a touch of elegance to your dinner table? Forget store-bought – Fran’s here to show you how to create stunning homemade napkin rings with a simple and stylish technique.

What You’ll Need:

• Rings (old paper towel rolls, old rings, etc.)
• Cording (choose a colour and texture that complements your decor)
• Scissors
• Decorative elements (flowers, shells, beads, etc.)

Fran’s Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare the Cording: Cut a length of cording that’s long enough to wrap around your cardboard ring comfortably.
2. Create the Loop: Fold the cording in half, creating a loop.
3. Attach to the Ring: Thread the loop through the cardboard ring and pull it tight.
4. Continue Looping: Continue adding loops around the ring, ensuring they’re close together for a neat finish.
5. Secure the End: Once the ring is fully covered, tie the two ends of the cording together securely. You can also use hot glue for extra reinforcement.

Decorating Your Napkin Rings:

Fran encourages you to get creative and personalize your napkin rings. Here are a few ideas:

• Floral Flair: Attach small silk flowers or dried blooms for a romantic touch.
• Coastal Charm: Add seashells, starfish, or small pebbles for a beachy vibe.
• Sparkling Accents: Decorate with beads, sequins, or glitter for a touch of glam.
• Natural Beauty: Use twine, raffia, or dried leaves for a rustic look.

Tips from Fran:

• Experiment with different colors and textures of cording to achieve various looks.
• Consider using patterned ribbon for a unique twist.

With a little creativity and Fran’s easy-to-follow tutorial, you’ll be creating beautiful and unique napkin rings that will impress your guests.
