A napkin ring is really more than just a way to hold your napkin, it’s also a decorative element on your dining room table. Here is an easy to make holiday napkin ring that mixes rustic with elegant!
Easy DIY Holiday Napkin Ring:
Supplies needed:
Thin ribbon
Burlap ribbon
Fall leaves
Gold spray paint
Directions:
1. Begin by laying some fresh leaves on newspaper. Apply a few coats of gold spray paint (or craft paint if it’s too cold to spray paint in your area). Allow to dry thoroughly.
2. In the meantime, roll a length of burlap (6-7 inches will do) and secure with a length of thin ribbon. I used thin orange ribbon and secured it in place with a bow.
3. Once the leaf is dry, tuck one into each arrangement. I didn’t use glue; I simply slid the leaf under the orange ribbon.
Your frugal DIY napkin ring can now be used. Simply roll up your napkin and slide it into the ring.
The elegance of gold against the rustic burlap is really stunning!
You can even use these as place cards. Just write your guests name in black or white on the leaf. Then it’s a napkin ring and place card in one!
This is a great way to dress up your fall table while being frugal and functional at the same time!

What a great project, the leaf looks like it was dipped in gold and kept such beautiful detail!
Thanks Kathy!
Very pretty! Thanks for this idea, I just might use it!
Beautiful! I love it, I hope I find time before Thursday to make some of these:) Enjoy your day dear Manuela, HUGS!
Thanks! Have those marvelous grandkids of yours make them! 🙂
Pretty – and a great idea.
Wishing you and yours a Very Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Glenda! Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
What a clever idea!
Very pretty, Manuela. I love the idea of using them as place cards, too.
Oh I like that a lot and the dishcloth napkins too! I really want to use a brown/cream/white sort of theme this year and this would so fit that.
I found your comment spot in a new window when I clicked the words “9 comments”. Thanks for visiting my site too. You are certainly creative and looks like you will have a beautiful Thanksgiving table.
I love the use of something blingy paired with rustic items. I just spray painted some leaves gold yesterday actually, but I didn’t think to use them like this! Very creative Manuela!
