Create striking accents on your dinning table with these charming napkin rings. They are such a cinch to make and nearly all the materials for this project can actually be found right at home. Perfect to add a personalized touch to your dining events!

Supplies

• Paper towel cores
• Raffia fiber
• A pair of scissors or a craft cutter
• A glue gun or glue tube

Instructions

1. Cut the rings – Make 1 1/2-inch wide rings by cutting the cardboard rolls crosswise. To ensure an even width all around, measure the rings with a ruler and mark them with a pencil before cutting.

2. Wind raffia fiber around the rings, taking care to have it overlap slightly so that no bare cardboard is visible. Apply glue as you progress to secure the material in place. Let the wrapped rings dry thoroughly before use.
