Easy DIY Coastal Napkin Rings

10 Minutes
Easy
This year, I’ve decided to change my fall decor to incorporate the coastal decor that I have throughout my home. . My goal is to have a coastal autumn theme. Making these napkin rings for my breakfast nook was my first fall project to fit this color scheme.
I started with a set of four metal napkin rings. These were old ones that I haven’t used in years, so they were perfect for this and zero dollars is better than any dollars I would have spent on new rings. I want these to be long lasting and sturdy. If I wanted them for a more short term use, I could have used paper towel holders cut to size.
I didn’t want the gold tone to show, so I used Valspar Riviera Dune Flat Spray Paint on these.
A few weeks ago, I found a roll of burlap adhesive tape. It was just the right width for these napkin rings.
I liked that by using this tape, I didn’t have to deal with fraying burlap. I will tell you though, that the adhesive is not particularly strong. I decided to add a tiny drop of hot glue where the ends met just to make sure it didn’t come apart.
To add the coastal touch I wanted, I used a very small seashell and hot glued it onto the burlap. I glued it onto the seam of the burlap to cover the overlap.
I wanted to add some color that would match the centerpiece I’m using on the table. Sea glass was the perfect addition. I used a tiny bit of hot glue and secured a piece of sea glass to the inside of the napkin ring.
That gave me just the look I was going for. Making these was easy and very budget friendly. I’m happy with how they turned out and they fit perfectly with my Coastal Autumn decor.
These are so easy to make and aside from the paint drying time, a set of them can be made in under ten minutes. To see more, please visit the link below.
