    1. For pretty napkin rings that you don't want to completely cover, you can tie grosgrain ribbon in a small bow. Sew a button to the center of the bow.

    2. Using Fabri-Tac, glue grosgrain ribbon around the napkin ring and then glue the bow with the button onto the napkin ring (figure A) using hot glue.

    3. The metal curtain rings make wonderful napkin rings once you embellish them. Wrap vine or small ivy around the ring and then add fresh flowers. (figure B).

      Note: These rings are so feminine and pretty that they would look lovely at a bridal shower or a tea party.
