Approximate Time Required to Complete This Project
5-7 minutes per
Materials Needed
toilet paper rolls, ribbon, shell or other decoration, glue gun
Instructions
Cut cardboard rolls into 3rds. Hot glue the end of a piece of ribbon inside the tube piece and tightly wrap, wrap, wrap the ribbon in and out around the tube. When tube is tightly covered, fold over end of the ribbon and hot glue it to inside of tube. Hot glue a shell, starfish, sand dollar, etc. on the napkin ring. (Whatever fits your theme). I used 1-inch thick white satin. It also looks good with grosgrain ribbon. They looked so pretty with ocean blue napkins and no one guessed what they were!
Tips and Tricks
- Wrap the ribbon very closely around the tube... just barely not overlapping. This will make the tube more stable and look good.
- Experiment to see how long you should cut ribbon pieces--it will depend on how closely your wrapping.
