Thanksgiving Napkin Rings



Thanksgiving napkin rings you and your kids can make. These are so simple and easy to make. You will make a memory that will last for years. You will need pipe cleaners, beads (indian corn colors), raffia, hot glue and a napkin ring. You take a pipe cleaner and cut into three pieces, one piece in the middle should be slightly longer than the other two pieces. Twist the three pipe cleaners together, there should be some leftover and sticking out at the top. You will then put the beads onto the three pieces of the pipe cleaner, looping the bottom of the pipe cleaner around the first bead or twisting it to ensure the beads stay on. Once you have the three strands beaded and secure tie a raffia bow around the top of the pipe cleaners as shown. Then hot glue the napkin rings to the Indian corn. I purchased my napkin rings at the dollar store (they were fabric covered). We made these years ago and get them out every year-merry memories :)
