3rd napkin ring:
1. Grab a few jingle bells and tie together with string or yarn.
2. Wrap bell clutter around rolled napkin, wrap string several times around and tie a knot on the underside.
3. Use paint pens to write festive phrases or names, you can add dots and other embellishments. Tuck tag into bell cluster, or tie with string.
4th napkin ring:
1. Cut 1.5-2″ squares- you will need 7 of these pieces.
2. Follow directional folds in image.
3. Fold the diamond shape to create an arm of the star, and slide into the next armature- creating the ring of the stars arms.
