Plastic Napkin Rings serve the function of adorning, and sometimes holding together a decoratively rolled or folded napkin,usually for a formally set table. Spending a lot of money on napkin rings to suit every occasion isn't necessary. So, next time you need a festive pair of Christmas napkin rings, or napkin rings for that themed birthday party, save
yourself some money and make them yourself from recycled plastic containers.
Use a craft knife to cut away the parts of the bottle that are tapered, such as the top of a water bottle or milk jug. Use scissors to cut 4-by-1 1/2-inch strips of the plastic. Sand both sides of the plastic strips with low-grit sand paper. Brush away any dust created by the sanding with your hand.Place the strips of plastic in a card board box to protect the surrounding area from over spray. Spray paint both sides of the strips with spray paint. Let the first side dry before spraying the second. Let the second side dry completely before continuing.
Place one half of the self-adhesive fastener tape circle pairs on one end of the plastic strips. Flip the strips over and place the other half of the circle pairs on the other end of the strips. Close each strip into a ring. Use a low-temperature hot glue gun to embellish the ring so the overlapping ends will be under the napkins when the table is set. You may create simple embellishments, such as bows made of ribbon or lace, or more complicated embellishments such as combining ribbon, lace and silk flowers. Keep in mind the occasion you are making the rings for if making them for a specific event.
