Expert Tips

Especially when crafting with kids, I like using a tacky glue called Fabri-Tac, also known as 3-in-1 glue by Beacon, instead of a hot glue gun. I like the way it bonds almost instantly without the risk of getting burned by a hot glue gun.

Variations

Make Pilgrim hat napkin rings with paper tubes. Paint the tubes black. Add a ribbon and a yellow foam square as the buckle.

Make Native American napkin rings by fanning feathers on the front of the tube and drawing symbols and designs at the bottom with paint pens.

FAQs

That is competely up to you and customizable to your taste. An easy way to size these napkin rings is to cut a toilet paper tube exactly in half. Use the two halves to make two napkin ring holders.

Any type of napkin will work for this toilet paper holder. Use cloth napkins like linen or cotton. Or, use fancy disposable napkins for the Thanksgiving table.
