Supplies Needed
- Card stock (I used brown kraft card stock and white card stock but any color will work.)
- Template (see the form at the end of the post.)
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- 7/8 inch or 1 inch wide ribbon
- Fresh greenery for embellishment (rosemary, pine, berries.)
Assembly Instructions
For the Rectangles
- Download the PDF, and then print your desired template. Just fill out the form at the end of the post, and I will email the PDF directly to your inbox.
- Cut out each rectangle, just inside the border line.
- Carefully punch holes on both short sides of the rectangles.
- Cut as many lengths of ribbon as you need napkin rings. Each piece of ribbon should be 1o inches long. You want to have an ample length of ribbon so you have plenty of room to snip the ends neatly.
- Lay a ribbon piece on a flat surface lengthwise. Place the folded or rolled napkin on the ribbon.
- Take a paper rectangle and carefully poke the ends of the ribbon up through the holes on each side. Pull the ribbon tight, but do it very gently so you don’t tear through the hole.
- Snip the ends of the ribbon so they are equal length. Tuck a piece of fresh greenery behind the rectangle.
- You can definitely put these DIY napkin rings and napkins together a few days in advance of your gathering. Pine, rosemary, and thyme dry nicely. I made the ones pictured in this post about a week ago, and the rosemary has dried a bit, but it still looks lovely.
For the Circles
- Download the PDF and print the page with the circle tags.
- Cut out the circles just inside the border line.
- Punch a hole in the top of each tag.
- Using twine, string, or very narrow ribbon, attach the tag to your rolled napkin.
