18 DIY Thanksgiving Napkin Rings

After you buy beautiful napkins for your Thanksgiving table from Bright Settings, you may want to make some great looking Thanksgiving napkin rings to go with them.

Heck, most of them can be made from things you probably already have in your craft room!

First up is this 5-minute napkin ring from Artzy Creations. When I first saw it, I thought to myself that I wouldn’t be able to make these. I’ve never worked with metal before. But, I was wrong. Not only are they easy to make, the materials cost less than a dollar!

Do you have artificial fall leaf swags in your fall decoration box? I know I have lots of them, but for the life of me, I can only remember buying one of them. Where did they all come from? I think I’ll take one apart and use the leaves to make these Thanksgiving leaf napkin rings from Craft Elf.

Maybe I’ll use a few of those fall leaves to make these Thanksgiving acorn napkin rings, too. A Little CLAIREification covers empty paper towel holders with jute, then adds acorns and leaves for a quick and easy napkin ring.

Better yet, you do the crafting and let the rest of the family work in the kitchen. Now, that’s something I’d be thankful for!
