DIY Holiday Napkin Rings

Most children enjoy arts and crafts and also like to help in holiday preparations. Creating napkin rings to add to the dinner table during holiday meals is a simple yet fun way for kids to feel that they have contributed. My six year old daughter was very excited to complete this project. I was glad to come up with a project that didn't require a lot of expensive supplies. We actually had most of the items in the house. Here are the directions to create your own holiday napkin rings.

Materials

  • empty toilet paper rolls
  • acrylic paint and paintbrushes
  • ribbon
  • hot glue
  • 3-D stickers (available in craft stores) or other small accessories

Procedure

  1. Remove any toilet paper remaining on the toilet paper rolls. Each roll will make 3 napkin rings.
  2. Cut the toilet paper rolls into 1.5 inch sections.
  3. Paint the rolls with acrylic paint. I used 2 coats.
  4. Cut the ribbon into lengths that will wrap around the tubes.
  5. Use hot glue to attach ribbons to the center around the tubes.
  6. Attach 3-D stickers or other small accesories

This project only took about 2 hours including drying time for the paint.
