Dress up your dinner table with this adorable Valentine napkin ring. Adding a Bowdabra bow adds an elegant touch to this easy project.
You’ll need these supplies:
- 36″ length of 6″ tulle
- 8″ length of 7/8″ patterned satin ribbon
- 18″ length of 1/8″ satin ribbon
- 6″ length of coil ribbon
- 1 toilet paper roll
- 1 Valentine embellishment
- 18″ length Bowdabra bow wire
- Mini Bowdabra Bow Making and Design Tool
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Craft knife or scissors
Let’s make the Valentine Napkin Ring:
We’ll start by making the napkin ring.
- Measure and mark 1¼” widths on the toilet paper roll.
- With a craft knife, cut a ring from the roll along the marks.
- Secure one end to the tulle to the inside of the ring with hot glue.
- Wrap the tulle around the ring.
- Hot glue the end of the tulle to the inside of the ring. Trim any excess tulle, if necessary.
Now, let’s make the bow:
- Cut the ribbons to length, and pass the ends through a flame to seal them.
- Fold bow wire in half and put it in the Mini Bowdabra. Tuck the ends of the wire under the Mini Bowdabra to keep them out of the way.
- Place one end of the patterned ribbon face down in the Mini Bowdabra.
- Bring the other end up and over the pillar, and secure it in the Mini Bowdabra.
- Press the center of the ribbon loop into the Mini Bowdabra.
- With the 1/8″ ribbon make a bow with three loops on each side.
- Add the coil ribbon to the Mini Bowdabra.
- Compress the ribbons with the Mini Bowdabra wand.
- With the bow still in the Mini Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and tighten. Tie a knot on the reverse side. Leave the wire ends long for now.
- Hot glue the Valentine embellishment to the center of the bow.
- Trim the bow wires to about ½”.
- Hot glue the finished bow to the tulle-covered ring.
- Enjoy a Valentine dinner in grand style!!
