You're going to love making these Christmas napkin holders that are themed like Santa Claus's coat! So cute.
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Dry Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings 6 napkin rings
Cost $5

Ingredients

  • 3 toilet paper rolls makes two napkin rings
  • 2 pieces Felt sheet(s) red, about 2 x 6" per ring
  • 1 piece Gold glitter craft foam or ribbon, a small square per ring
  • 1 piece Black glitter craft foam or ribbon, about 6" per ring
  • 2 Faux fur pieces or ribbon

Instructions

  • Cut the toilet paper tubes in half. The rolls will bend a little bit in the center while you're cutting, and you'll have to bend them back.

  • Each piece of toilet paper tube is about 2" tall and 6" in diameter. Cut strips of felt about 1 3/4" and then about 6 1/4" for overlap. (Measure your toilet paper roll, because I doubt they're all the exact same size).

  • Cut a length of black glitter ribbon to fit if it doesn't already. I ended up having to cut mine in half with a craft knife and ruler because it was a little too wide.
