WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Paper towel tubes
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Construction paper
- Craft glue
- Craft supplies (markers, paint, paintbrush, ribbon, beads, feathers, etc.)
Measure and cut the tubes so each ring measures 2 inches in length. Be sure to make enough so everyone coming to dinner has a napkin ring. Cut the same number of 2-inch-wide colored paper strips. Glue the paper strips to the tubes.Now decide how you want to decorate your napkin rings. You could make each different or create a variety of looks. Use markers, paint, ribbon, beads, and feathers to decorate the rings. Here is a great chance to be really creative and fanciful.
DECORATING IDEAS:

-
Draw a turkey, autumn leaves, pumpkins, pilgrims, Native American headdresses or something fanciful on construction paper, then cut it out and glue it to the ring.
- Draw pictures of each family member to create their own personalized napkin ring or use a photo of each person attending and use it as the face of a turkey, pumpkin or pilgrim that you have glued to the ring.
- Leave a space on your design for names and you’ve turned it into a place card.
