December 9, 2012

diy wood napking ring placecards
A napkin ring makeover two ways to make placecards.
1. Chalkboard napkin rings for the kids table:

2. Jingle bell placecard holders for the adults:

These napkin rings started out as 8 ‘presents’ that were really dated:

And now:

Gee they look similar to Santa’s belt:

I sliced the large red holders in half for less bulk and double the rings (except one broke on the saw) so now I have a total of 11 napkin rings.

Pull off tape and using chalk marker write names on black chalk paint:

    These are amazing! I love that you transformed something a bit dated and made them so modern and fun for today. Awesome job. I love how you used the wire as a place card.

    Thanks so much for linking up to Dare to DIY! It'd be great if you'd link back to one of the four hosts!

    I do hope you did not throw the 12th ring away… use some Elmer's glue or any wood glue, sand it and paint it…. use it for your place setting… no one will know but you.
