DIY Holiday Napkin Rings Project Steps
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Curtain rings
- Puzzle pieces
- Spray paint: Choose festive colors like gold, silver, white, or red.
- Metallic paint pens
- Twine or string: Optional
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
01
Prepare Your Curtain Rings
Clean your thrifted curtain rings to remove any dust or residue. In a well-ventilated area, spray paint them the color of your choice. Allow the paint to dry completely and apply additional coats as needed for a smooth, even finish.
02
Create Puzzle-Piece Snowflakes
Select the longer puzzle pieces from your thrifted set. Start by gluing two pieces in a straight line to form a base. Add two more pieces on top, forming an X shape. Glue one final piece in the center to complete the snowflake. Once the glue is dry, spray paint your snowflakes in a well-ventilated area. Let them dry thoroughly. Use metallic paint pens to add festive designs like dots, stripes, or swirling patterns.
03
Optional Additions
If you’d like your snowflakes to double as ornaments, glue a loop of twine or string to the top. These make thoughtful take-home gifts for your guests!
04
Assemble Your Napkin Rings
Attach the finished snowflakes to the painted curtain rings using hot glue or craft glue. Once the glue is set, slide the rings onto cloth napkins to dress up your table setting.
