How to Make a Paper Napkin Ring

This project is so easy even a child could do it! I decided to transform my TJ bag into a cute napkin ring.  This napkin ring really is quite easy to make (trust me!).  If you are having guests over, but aren’t feeling too fancy why not make these playful napkin rings?  They make you look put together, but no overly stuffy.  Now, that’s my kind of vibe!

Have you even made napkin rings? If so, what kind did you make?

Supplies:

– Trader Joe’s Bag

– Glue Gun and Glue (you could use regular glue)

– Ruler

– Pencil

– Scissors

{Step 1}: Cut a strip of paper from your bag that is 5 1/2 inches long and 2 and 1/2 inches wide. Do multiple cuts into your paper making a fringe, stopping before you actually cut all the way through the paper. Keep your cuts close to one another.

{Step 2}: Rip a handle off of your bag.  Take your handle and cut it so it is 5 and 1/2 inches long. Roll your handle up, giving it a nice round form.  Put glue on one end of your handle and glue it to the other end.

{Step 3}: Take the fringe you just cut and roll it up making sure the bottom is tight.  Place glue on the bottom open edge gluing it shut (you don’t want your fringe to unravel).

{Step 4}: Put hot glue all over the bottom of your fringe and glue it to the center of the ring you made.  Let the glue dry.  Once the glue is dry, start fanning out your fringe.

 ENJOY!
