‘Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way’, rings familiar, right? We all look forward to the Christmas season, as it’s not only about the gifts and the food but also about the joy of crafting and decorating our spaces uniquely. One such crafting idea that sparkles excitement during this season is the Jingle Bell Napkin Rings! A delightful addition to your table setting that heightens the Christmas spirit with each jingle.
Materials Needed:
Here’s a list of items you’ll need for this enchanting DIY project:
- Assorted Jingle Bells – Variety not only keeps it interesting but also adds to the melodic jingle.
- Florist Wire or Pipe Cleaners – As the structural base of your napkin rings.
- Hot Glue Gun – To secure the jingle bells in place tightly.
- Ribbon or Twine – For a final festive touch.
- Pliers – To shape and cut the wire.
- Cloth Napkins – To bring your creation to the Christmas table.
Step 1: Start Crafting:
To kick off, measure the length of the wire or pipe cleaner you would need to create a napkin ring, approximately 6 inches works best. Use your pliers for cutting the wire efficiently and then shape it into a circle.
Step 2: Attach the Jingle Bells:
This is where your hot glue gun comes into an action. Apply a small blob of hot glue to your jingle bell and stick it to one end of your wire circle. Do this until you cover the entire ring. Tip: Spread out the bells evenly to create a balanced look and a harmonious jingle.
Step 3: The Festive Touch:
Once your jingle bells are securely attached, it’s time to add the festive touch with some Christmas themed ribbon or twine. Wrap it around the napkin ring, securing it in intervals with the hot glue gun. Alternatively, you can also create a small bow and attach it to the top for an extra Christmas feel.
Step 4: Set the Table:
Slip the jingle bell napkin rings over neatly folded or rolled cloth napkins and voila! Your Christmas table is positively brimming with cheer!
Here are few additional tips to consider. Using different colored jingle bells can add a nice visual touch. Gold or silver jingle bells bring elegance, while red and green ones add a vibrant dash of classic Christmas colors. Also, remember that bells come in different sizes. Mixing different sizes can make your napkin rings look more textured and interesting.
Making these jingle bell napkin rings is an easy, fun and cost-effective way to bring some jingly joy to your Christmas dinner table.
