Are you on a quest for that magical touch that’ll transform your dining room table from “blah” to “ta-da!”? Well, let me introduce you to the unsung hero of table decor: the napkin ring! Yes, you heard me right—a little ring that’s basically the superhero of dinner parties. One moment it’s just sitting there, minding its own business, and the next, bam! It’s the glue that holds your Thanksgiving and Christmas table setting together like an over-eager relative at a family gathering!
Picture it: you’ve got your stunning floral centerpiece, and it’s all like, “Look at me, I’m fabulous!” But then the napkin ring steps in, saying, “Hold my beer!” Suddenly, it’s a match made in table-setting heaven. And don’t worry about maxing out your credit cards; these little wonders don’t need to wear designer labels. In fact, you can totally whip them up yourself!

Table of Contents
Every table setting is unique. In some cases, a simple napkin ring is sufficient to keep those pesky napkins in place while adding a touch of elegance to the table. However, in other settings, a bit more flair may be needed to harmonize contrasting elements.
By using decorative napkin rings or creatively folding napkins in visually striking ways, you can create a cohesive look that ties together various components of your table setting. Ultimately, the key is to strike a balance between simplicity and complexity to achieve an inviting and stylish dining experience.

Hot Glue Gun
If you’re looking for a hot glue gun that is easy to handle and quick to heat, I highly recommend this hot glue gun by Dremel. It’s wireless and rechargeable! And very good at precision gluing. If you’re interested in trying it for yourself, check out the link below!
Start your project quicker with Dremel’s hot glue pen that only takes 15 seconds to warm up. Cordless tool design allows users the freedom to move around without the concern of tripping on or accidently unplugging a cord.
Gold Napkin Rings
Any gold napkin ring will do for this project. I managed to find these at the Dollar General!
Flowers
For this Napkin Ring, I used leftover flowers from the centerpiece arrangement. This is not only economical but also helps to tie the two elements together.
Ribbon and Toilet Paper Roll
If you don’t already have gold napkin rings, you can craft your own with just two simple items!
Jazzing Up the Storebought Rings
Step 1
Choose a few flowers from your leftover flowers and hot glue them to your napkin ring.
Step 2
Tie a piece of twine around the napkin ring, covering the bead of glue. This not only covers the glue but also ads a bit of a country look to our napkins.
Step 3
Place on your table and wait for your guests to gasp in amazement.
Making Your Own Rings
Step 1
Cut your toilet paper roll to a length that’s slightly less than the width of the ribbon. Fold the edges of the ribbon inside the toilet paper ring and hot glue in place.
Step 2
Admire your work. Isn’t it pretty?
Step 3
Hot glue a flower or two to the ring. Careful not to burn yourself.
Step 4
Tie a piece of twine around the napkin ring, covering the bead of glue.
Step 5
Carefully pull a napkin through the napkin ring.
Step 6
Admire your work. Aren’t they pretty?
Napkin rings might seem like small details, but they have the amazing ability to pull a table setting together and take it to the next level! Imagine them as the little finishing touch that brings everything into harmony. They can either keep things simple and classy or add a splash of fun, depending on the vibe you’re going for. When you match them with your centerpieces and dinnerware, they help tie all the different elements together.
