Easy-to-Make Napkin Rings

I was having some friends over for dinner, so I wanted something new for the napkins. I saw some napkin rings that Lisa Harlow, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, made and decided to make my own version of them. They turned out quite cute, if I do say so myself.

I had a fork and knife in each napkin and wrapped it in Designer Series Paper. The clothespin held it all together.

Supplies used:

Designer Series Paper: Gingham Garden

Accessories: The mini clothespins were part of the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, but they are also are available in silver and gold in the spring catalog - Mini Metallic Clothespins

Stampset: Oh, Goodie from the holiday catalog

It's All Because of a Napkin!

I met Pennie when we both moved into the same neighborhood. I had never done stamping before and wasn't terribly interested in starting a new hobby, but I decided to go to a workshop Pennie held in the fall of 2011.

In December, Pennie had a Christmas class. We made some gift tags, but it was her stamped napkins that I loved. I wanted to design my own napkins for Christmas. I imagine Pennie was a bit surprised when I told her I decided to sign up as a demonstrator.

So, Pennie, thank you! I never thought I'd even enjoy stamping, and now I'm hooked!
