How to make it:
Adjust the length of rectangle according to the type of napkins you use:
- Cut a rectangle of red felt 1 3/4 x 7" long.
- Cut the ends of the rectangle as shown in the picture.
- Apply gold glitter paint along the side of each of the circular ends. Let dry.
- Cut two rectangles out of red felt 2 3/4 x 3" to make the blooms of the flower.
- Cut the two rectangles curving the edges of the flower as shown in the picture.
- Apply gold glitter paint along the sides as shown in the picture. Let dry.
- Cut one rectangle out of green felt 3 1/2 x 3 1/4" to make the leaves of the flower.
- Cut the rectangle curving the edges of the leaves as shown in the picture.
- Apply gold glitter paint along the sides as shown in the picture. Let dry.
- Turn the long rectangular felt over and apply gold glitter paint along the side of each of the circular ends. (Optional) Let dry.
- Place one red bloom on top of the leaves, so that you can see a leaf in-between each part of the bloom.
- Place another red bloom on top of the first red bloom. Rotate so that you see the first red bloom parts between the one on the top. (see photo)
- Measure the width of the long rectangular felt (napkin ring) at the "neck" (immediately after the round area) of the napkin ring.
- Pick up all 3 pieces and fold in half.
- With your scissors, cut a slit through all the layers that would measure 1/2 the width of the "neck" of the napkin ring.
- Open up the 3 pieces.
- Insert one end of the napkin ring through all 3 pieces (beginning with the leaves).
- Insert the other end of the napkin ring through all 3 pieces.
- Insert your napkin into the napkin ring.
- Place on your table and enjoy using your napkin rings!
