No Sew Craft: Napkins and Napkin Rings

No-Sew Easy Homespun Napkins

What you will need:
1 yard of Homespun fabric Scissors
Yields: 4 napkins

Homespun makes beautiful napkins because it is soft (after washing) and doesn’t need ironing. You can get it in solids or prints and even make a tablecloth to match/co-ordinate. It is economical enough to make several sets or to use for everyday.
1 yard of fabric will yield 4 generous sized napkins that are about 16″ X 16″ each. Just lay out your fabric and measure about 17 inches and then make a cut. Tear the fabric on all 4 sides, then pull away threads to start the fraying. Wash/Dry/Fold. More fraying will occur after washing them; just pull off the threads. Do not use fabric softener in rinse cycle.

Easy Acorn Napkin Rings

What you will need:

Mini grapevine wreaths (10 for $1)
Acorns (God makes them for free!)
Small artificial leaves ($1 for 80)
Glue gun (varies)
Optional : polyurethane/sealer

These napkin rings are so economical, you can use them for entertaining any large crowd this autumn! They also would make a nice hostess gift for whoever makes your Thanksgiving dinner. They can be used with fabric or paper napkins and they will hold the silverware too! Great for buffets … put them in a pretty basket … just grab and go!

Hot-glue 3 small leaves to the bottom of the mini grapevine. Then hot-glue 1-3 small acorns on top of them. (Optional: In advance, I sprayed a coat of polyurethane on my acorns to make them shiny and keep the caps on too) I used different combinations of colored leaves/numbers of acorns for variety. When done, just pull the napkins up through the bottom!
