Napkin Rings- {Indian Corn}

This is a fun craft kids can do with mom, which can help decorate your Thanksgiving table. (I saw something similar in a magazine years ago.)

Indian Corn Napkin Rings:

You need:

felt- small squares

assorted buttons

popsicle/craft sticks

twine

scissors

glue

Instructions:

Lay out 6 popsicle sticks on a felt square. Cut the felt slightly larger. Glue the sticks to the felt. (I used hot glue- which was a little messy- and obviously you would not let a child use.)

Pick out fall colored buttons- yellow, brown, orange, etc.

Lay out the buttons on the sticks in a random order.

Carefully glue the buttons to the sticks.

When dry, attach twine to the back side on both ends, so that it can tie around the napkin. (I glued a button over the twine where it attached to the felt, to help hold it in place.)

Wrap around napkins, tie, and enjoy a pretty little fall napkin ring.

This is a great craft for the little ones to assist with- they can sort the buttons, and use their small motor skills to place the buttons on the sticks. If you use hot glue- don't let the children touch-(obviously). Glue dots would be perfect for putting on the buttons, but might not hold up as well, and you wouldn't want a loose button around your food. ☻

Happy Thanksgiving!
