When it comes to setting my table for Thanksgiving this year, I’m trying to mostly use what I already have in my stash. I like to change things up from year to year, but this year I’m trying to be very thrifty with any new touches. Add my lack of time to the equation and this easy solution is perfect.
OK – back to the napkin rings. A quick trip to Michael’s to pick up a 50% off stamp and stamp pad and a 40% off roll of ribbon and I have six new napkin rings for under $10.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
It’s pretty obvious to see that all I did was to cut some lengths of ribbon, tie one around each napkin and then stamp each end of the ribbon.
Make sure to allow the ink to completely dry before handling the napkins.
I know it isn’t exactly rocket science, but if you’re operating on a budget or if you’re in a pinch for time, this just might be a good solution for you too!
I’ll be sharing my Thanksgiving tablescape with you next week!

I think this looks great! So you stamped on the ribbon? Did you use a certain kind of ink and was it white? It totally looks like you embossed it. Great job!
Suzy says
Hi Marty. I just used an ink pad – wasn’t looking for any particular type. And yes, it is white. Glad you like the napkin rings!

I love the personalized ribbon. All kinds of things you can do with that idea. Get to stamping, lady! I expect to see all your Christmas gifts wrapped with handstamped ribbon. 🙂
