DIY: Nutcracker Napkin Rings

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with holiday nutcrackers and even after deciding on a candy cane themed Christmas in our house, I just can’t stop admiring the nutcrackers for sale at all the Home Goods stores in town (yes, I regularly go to more than one Home Goods store in the DC area, and YES, it is my other much more serious obsession).

Being inspired by a nutcracker napkin ring set of 4, I found online at the World Market for $9.99,  I decided to make my own version of the rings with a great dollar store find of nutcrackers ornaments for only $1  for a a set of 2.

The $ Breakdown:

  • $2 – Four nutcracker ornaments from the dollar store ($1 a pair)
  • $2 – Set of five wooden Cabone Rings  after 25% off coupon from Michael’s
  • $0.50 Ribbon
  • Total: $4.50 for a set of four!

You can probably guess the how-to from the photos.  It’s as simple as:

1) Wrap the napkin ring with ribbon

2) Glue the ribbon in place

3) Glue the nutcracker ornament in place

4) Throw a fabulous party featuring your new napkin rings (the most important step, of course!)
