Happy Wednesday! I want to share a fun and super easy project I did today. I’m not much of a tablescaper but I do love to add a bit of fun here and there. I made napkin rings that can be easily customized… and they are super cheap!
You only need a few supplies for this one!
I used metal drapery rings with clips for my napkin rings. I found mine at Hobby Lobby for $6.99 for 12 with no sale or coupon. You can also find them at Lowe’s, JoAnn’s and many other stores. They come in lots of different finishes. I was originally going to paint mine but I really liked the bronze finish with my other decor.
I also purchased several pieces of coordinating scrapbook papers from Hobby Lobby.
The possibilities are endless for these napkin rings but I will show you a few that I came up with. For two of mine I was able to use my Cricut Expression Machine with my new Songbird Font Cartridge… Love it!!
I used the machine to cut out a tag shape with one piece of paper.
I then cut the same shape 1/2″ smaller with a different sheet of paper.
I glued those together and cut a “G” out to finish it off. I love using our initials on almost everything 🙂
You then just attach a ring to it and you are finished… that easy and that cute!
I made these for Easter… I thought the colors and pattern was perfect!
I also made some that coordinated with the colors in my dining room.
I used the same technique, just different paper and shapes.
I used my Cricut Storybook Font for this tag.
Finally, I couldn’t resist my addiction love of burlap. I used some black acrylic paint to stencil numbers on small pieces of burlap. After they dried I attached them to a ring and I was done…. LOVE it 🙂 Anything burlap with numbers pretty much does it for me!
Thanks so much for stopping by guys! For under $10 this is a great project that can be revamped and changed all year round. I hope you like it!

You gotta just love that Cricut! 🙂 Never thought of doign that but what a CUTE way to really personalize placesettings too!
A clever use of drapery rings. I'll be investing in a few pkgs for this purpose myself!
What a cute idea and I love those rings with the clips. I want to look for some of those. Love & blessings from NC!

The perfect gift for a house warming party!
Wow, I love seeing what can be accomplished with the Cricut Expression Machine…makes me want to buy one…and I have no experience in paper craft art.
Thank you for sharing!

Another fantastic project!! I love them all, but my favourite would definitely be the burlap ones:) Thank you so much for sharing, now I just have to convince my husband that a cricut machine is a necessity:) ~ Tina x
Oh for the love of Cricut I've been debating on this for over a week now after I searched Craigslist and I keep thinking I won't use it that often but then I see these pretty ideas using the Cricut and I want it again. What do you think should i get it?!
Wow, that is super creative! Awesome!
That is just too cute! I love it.
ok, now that is just too darn smart! Sooo cute. Don't you just love the Cricut. Thanks for sharing.
