Crafting with Recyclables – Napkin Rings
Here’s a craft that is sure to make meal time just a bit more fun! Emily fell in love with this cherry-printed ribbon the minute she first saw it. The red napkins were a clearance bargain from Target during their after-Christmas sale.
To make your own napkin rings, you will need a paper towel roll, scissors, some ribbon, and a bit of tape. Mark your paper towel roll where you want to cut to make each napkin ring. Ours were 1 1/2″ wide. Cut the roll with scissors using the lines as your guide.
Invite your child over to decorate the napkin rings with their artwork. We used markers, although paints would work very nicely for this as well. Just be sure to allow them to dry completely. This was Emily’s favorite part!
Add a bit of ribbon to each napkin ring and secure with a piece of tape. That’s it!
I love how her scribbles peek out from underneath the ribbon. So cheerful, and so easy to do! Have fun!!
