As I’m planning an End of Summer Fiesta, so I thought it might be fun to create decorative napkin rings for it. They were easy, and I like how they added more color to the tablescape.
To begin, you will need:
– scissors
– empty toilet paper rolls (or paper towel rolls)
– craft glue
– sheets of colored tissue paper
First, cut the empty toilet paper/paper towel cardboard tubes into rings approximately 2.5″ wide.
Then fold them in half and use the scissors to cut “fringe” on one side – approximately 1/4″ between cuts.
Next, use the glue (sparingly) to attach the tissue strips one at a time to the cardboard tube.
Keep adding layers of tissue until the entire cardboard tube is covered (approximately 4 layers).
After gluing, use your fingers to gently “rough up” the fringe a bit – I think it looks better that way.
{As you can tell, I repeated the same process for the menu, using longer tissue strips.}
