You can make festive napkin rings in minutes by stringing jingle bells and beads onto a pipe cleaner and twisting the ends together. It is one of the simplest crafts on this site.
This project needs almost no setup, which makes it a good pick for a classroom or a group of kids working at once. It fits well with our holidays section for a Christmas table setting.
What you need
- One 6-inch red pipe cleaner per ring
- Nine jingle bells per ring
- Nine red craft beads per ring
Steps
- Slide the beads and bells onto the pipe cleaner one at a time, alternating a bead, then a bell, all the way along.
- Once everything is on the pipe cleaner, twist the two ends together to close it into a ring.
- Make several rings using different bead or bell colors so each napkin gets its own look.
Safety
The bells and beads are small parts, so this craft is not a good fit for children under about 3 who still put small objects in their mouths. An adult should stay nearby with younger kids and count the pieces afterward to be sure none went missing.
