No-Sew Easy Homespun Napkins

What you will need:
1 yard of Homespun fabric Scissors
Yields: 4 napkins

Homespun makes beautiful napkins because it is soft (after washing) and doesn't need ironing. You can get it in solids or prints and even make a tablecloth to match/co-ordinate. It is economical enough to make several sets or to use for everyday.

1 yard of fabric will yield 4 generous sized napkins that are about 16" X 16" each. Just lay out your fabric and measure about 17 inches and then make a cut. Tear the fabric on all 4 sides, then pull away threads to start the fraying. Wash/Dry/Fold. More fraying will occur after washing them; just pull off the threads. Do not use fabric softener in rinse cycle.

 

 

Easy Acorn Napkin Rings

What you will need:

Mini grapevine wreaths (10 for $1)
Acorns (God makes them for free!)
Small artificial leaves ($1 for 80)
Glue gun (varies)
Optional : polyurethane/sealer

These napkin rings are so economical, you can use them for entertaining any large crowd this autumn! They also would make a nice hostess gift for whoever makes your Thanksgiving dinner. They can be used with fabric or paper napkins and they will hold the silverware too! Great for buffets ... put them in a pretty basket ... just grab and go!

Hot-glue 3 small leaves to the bottom of the mini grapevine. Then hot-glue 1-3 small acorns on top of them. (Optional: In advance, I sprayed a coat of polyurethane on my acorns to make them shiny and keep the caps on too) I used different combinations of colored leaves/numbers of acorns for variety. When done, just pull the napkins up through the bottom!
