Simple Fall Napkin Rings

When it comes to preparing the table for Thanksgiving, I'm always at odds with stores and their fall dinnerware in hues of brown, orange, and red.  It's not easy to find silver fall items among the sea of gold, so typically I make my own decorations.   My days are filled with potty training my 2 year old, yanking my 9 month old away from the cat litter just in time, and starting the laundry in the dryer for the third time because I just don't have time to fold it when it finishes.  My time is limited, so unless a project is well worth it, I try to keep my projects simple.  These fall napkin rings are about as easy as it gets AND they match my china, which makes me one excited mommy! 

Materials:
Card stock in a coordinating color 
Pre-cut fall leaves (Michaels)
Glue dots

Step 1:
Cut card stock into strips that are 1 inch wide and 6 inches in length.  

Step 2:
Take each individual strip and overlap the ends to create a circle that will snugly fit around your napkin.  Secure ends with a glue dot and trim any extra card stock.  

Step 3:
Select a pre-cut fall leaf, attach glue dot to the back, and place leaf in the middle of the card stock napkin ring.
