Harvest Napkin Rings

Looking for a way to keep the kids entertained when you prepare for Thanksgiving?  Kids crafts to the rescue!  These Harvest Napkin Rings from Crystal Donnelly will keep the little ones occupied and will come in handy when you set the kids table!

Materials:

• One cardboard paper towel tube
• Scissors
• Tacky Glue
• Embossed felt
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Autumn Felt shapes, available at craft stores
• Fall leaves, purchased in craft stores
• Clothespins (optional)
   

Instructions:

1. Measure and cut four pieces off the cardboard tube to 1 ½” lengths. Trim the rings evenly around.
   
   
   
   
    
2. Measure a piece of felt 1 ½” x 6”. Cut four.
    
3. It is a good idea to put two fingers inside the ring to hold it while you are gluing. Spread a generous amount of glue all over the outside of the ring. Attach the felt piece working around to cover. Overlap and glue the ends. Let dry. Trim the felt to the edges of the cardboard. Ring base is made.
   
   
   
   
    
4. To decorate the rings, glue pre-cut shapes over the seam line to cover. A faux fall leaf looks great under a felt shape. Use clothespins to hold the shapes on until completely dry.
