Thanksgiving: Napkin Rings



All this week, I'll be sharing ideas for Thanksgiving. So, starting things off is this very simple-to-make napkin ring. This idea is from the November 2006 Country Living.

To make:
* Cut a small piece of cardstock.
* Stamp, use a sticker, write a desired message, etc...
* Punch a small hole in each end of the cardstock.
* Pull a ribbon through one end, and then through the other. Tip: if you cut the ends of the ribbon in a diagonal, they will be much easier to get through the small holes.

Coming up later in the week:
* A centerpiece idea.
* An idea to share the history of Thanksgiving.
* A felt "Give Thanks" banner.
* Place cards and favors.

This idea looks simple enough even I could do it.

Thanks for all the helpful tips and great ideas.

I have been thinking what I should do for napkin rings! i was thinking about trying to find some kind of vine to make mini wreaths with, but this is a great idea, too! Thanks!!

Jenn - have you seen the grapevine covered wire they have in the floral dept. at Wal-Mart. It is really pretty and could make a nice and simple napkin ring too. Another idea is you can soak grapevine (from a wreath or someone who grows grapes) and shape it into small wreaths.

Ashli - Welcome! Yes, my two year old loves those crescents too! Glad you are finding some ideas you can use!
