Simple Fall Napkin Rings

11.04.2012

Tonight I thought I would  repeat an old post where I shared a project that was so easy. Probably a lot of you are planning your Thanksgiving tables and these are just some simple napkin rings I made when I couldn't find any I liked in the stores.

I went to Michaels to see if I could find anything to use and they had these wooden rings for only $1.49 each. Perfect!

First thing I did was paint the rings with my Venetian Gold craft paint and let them dry.



 I wanted to attach an acorn to each ring so I went to Hobby Lobby to get a hot glue gun. Then while standing there with a glue gun in my hand I saw these glue dots so I bought them instead.

Best decision I ever made. These were so easy to use and no burned fingers. Just place the glue dot on the ring and then stick the acorn on and done.

 Just the look I wanted.




Simple and cheap and love the look.

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your fall table.

    Kicking myself now for selling some old wooden napkin rings at my yard sale a few weeks ago. these are so pretty and elegant, yet so simple. And I love those napkins.

    Kim,
    What a great idea. I love the napkins too! Where did you find those great acorn fabric napkins? It's good to know about the glue dots, makes the process so much easier.

    Great idea and the glue dots remove easily so the napkin rings can move into next season's table setting! Hmmm, wonder if Michael's still has those napkin rings? Thanks for sharing!
