"Hi, I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make seasonal napkin ring holders. Ooh! Look at winter. For this step, you're going to need tiny little silver sequins, or use the color of the sequins you've been using. You're going to need your finished napkin ring with the sequins and you're going to need some needle and thread and a pair of scissors. So I want you to thread your needle and thread. Take your sequins out and we're going to add in a line of embellishment on the top. Take your thread, needle and thread and knot it at the end. Make sure you make a double or triple knot, and I like to double my thread for this, so I make sure it's very, very secure. You're going to go into just the top part of the ribbon, and again this is a good reason to use that satin ribbon, because it will take a needle and thread. Some of the other ribbon, if you use a non-satin ribbon, you may not be able to do this. You thread the sequins, it's got that hole on it, remember? Where the hot glue came in, you're going to go right underneath that sequin and come up, and that's going to hold the sequin. You're going to do a line of these around the top. So, pick up the sequin and if you'll notice, there's two sides to the sequins. One side is kind of raised and that's the side you want to put it in, and the other side is flat. So again, put it down, go underneath it, and come out to the side of it, and pull your thread. So, we've got all the sequins on. I just want you to take your thread and make a knot. Do it a couple of times. Cut it, and look how fabulous that is. It will make any of your dinner parties special."
