Patriotic Napkin Ring

Create patriotic napkin rings to dress up your Memorial Day cookout — they can be used for a place setting or displayed on a buffet table. I love having themed napkin rings but can never seem to find my fancy ones when the holiday rolls around. This is an inexpensive and easy solution. They are super easy and fun to create by cutting tubes from a paper towel roll and covering them with ribbon.

  3. On the wrong side of the ribbon, fold over ½ inch of the ribbon end and glue for a finished edge.
  4. Apply craft glue to the back of the ribbon and wrap it around the paper towel tube, overlapping the raw edge of the ribbon with the finished edge.

  6. Apply glue to the inside center to create two loops.
  7. Glue the four of the ribbon loops together, one at a time onto the center of each other to form a flower.
  8. Cut a 1 ½ inch piece of white ribbon. Fold the ends to middle, overlapping about 1/8 inch and glue together to form a loop.
  9. Glue the white ribbon loop on to the center of the ribbon flower.
  10. Glue the ribbon flower to napkin ring and attach a star on each side of the flower. Slide the ring over a napkin to finish.
