Looking for a quick and easy (and inexpensive!) way to add color to your table? Grab some kids’ craft supplies and let’s make some DIY napkin rings!
DIY NAPKIN RINGS
Soooo…I didn’t do much pre-planning for Easter because I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I know I can’t be alone! But when we realized we would actually be able to host a small get-together my craftiness went in to overdrive! I grabbed some wood beans and pipe cleaners and in just a few minutes was able to create some cute DIY napkin rings! These would be a great way to get kids in on the action this weekend – AND you can customize the colors for any theme or season! {FTC Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links which means I may make a commission on any sales at no additional cost to you.}
Supplies Needed:
- pipe cleaners (white or in colors to match your beads)
- wood or plastic beads
- scissors
TUTORIAL: DIY NAPKIN RING
1. Count out 20 beads of one color and string them onto a pipe cleaner.
2. Separate three end beads a little bit from the rest and feed the opposite end of the pipe cleaner back through the center of the three beads from the outside, in.
3. Pull both ends of the pipe cleaner at the same time to tighten up the beaded loop.
4. Cut off leftover ends and tuck into bead center holes if needed.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with three more bead colors of your choice.
Stack 4 rings around a napkin and voila, a napkin ring!
