How to Use Ribbon for Fall Napkin Holders

Video Transcript

"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 how sumptuous fall is. I'm just finishing cutting my two inch piece of cardboard tubing. As you can see, my edges aren't exactly perfect, but it doesn't matter because your ribbon is going to cover any flaws in cutting that you may have had. I'm going to measure out this ribbon at about forty five inches. This is a medium width to wide ribbon. It's a lovely satin finish so it will make an elegant appearance for your fall napkin ring. I want you to take a little glue, put it on the inside, put the edge of your ribbon down on that, and then do a bead, a line of hot glue this way. You can also use your craft glue. Pull that through and you're going to add another line of glue and pull that taut over that. Pull it through. Keep it taut. Add another line of glue and you're going to angle this on the inside to make straight lines on the outside. Now we're going to add our last piece of glue to the cardboard. Hold that down. Cut the ribbon. Put some glue right on there. Piece it over. Look how lovely that looks for your fall napkin ring holder."
