Patriotic napkin rings

This entry is for my Girl Scouts (troop 1955) and Boy Scouts (Troop/Pack 1961).


===================

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to turn a “worthless” paper towel roll into beautiful patriot themed napkin rings. Make some for upcoming Independence Day party! You can adapt this idea to make ones for other occasions, too.

Materials:

- Empty paper towel roll
- Tri-color fabric ribbon
- Scissor
- Pencil, ruler
- Hot glue



Instruction:
- Measure towel roll in one-inch intervals (or longer if desired). Mark it.
- Flatten the roll and cut across it (adult's work!)
- Glue one end of the ribbon strip. Place into the cut roll, starting from inside. Remember to angle the ribbon a little bit. See picture.

- Wrap all the way around with a slight overlap. If you come up short, just use another piece of fabric ribbon to complete the wrap. The wrap must end at the inner of the ring.
