Valentine's Napkins Rings

I found some great Valentine's Day napkins at Hobby Lobby right after Christmas, and while I could have gone with some simple silver napkin rings, I chose to -of course- make my own. It was so fun to do! You could easily repeat this process for lots of holidays and lots of napkins all year.


What You'll Need
Toilet paper or paper towel rolls
Scissors
Hot glue gun and sticks
Fabric -- half a yard will cover about six rolls
Flocked brads (Find them in the scrapbooking department.)

What You'll Do
Step 1: Remove, as best you can, any stuck-on toilet paper or paper towels. Cut the rolls into 1-inch rings.



Step 2: Cut the fabric into three- to four-inch strips. I started cutting and then ripped to get the "worn edge" look on the fabric's edges. Fold the fabric in half. I used hot glue on each end to help keep the fabric folded. Folding the fabric makes it thicker and covers the cardboard of the ring better.


Step 3: Wrap the fabric around the ring, hot gluing in place as you go. When you meet the other end, cut any excess off and hot glue in place.

Step 4: Using a craft knife, carefully puncture a hole through the fabric and cardboard ring. Push the tabs of a flocked brad through the hole and open the tabs to keep the brad in place.


Step 5: And you're done! Repeat the process for all the napkin rings you need.
