Napkin Rings Made From Hot Glue Are Surprisingly Chic And Easy To Make

When it comes to hosting a beautiful dinner for friends and family, it's important to consider every aspect of the table setting —  right down to the napkin rings. However, when purchasing napkin rings, it can quickly become an expensive endeavor, especially if you have a big family and especially if they're sold individually. Imagine spending around $40 for a table of 10 just to spruce up your dinner plates.

Instead, why not DIY your own napkin rings? Yes, according to TikTok user @rina.huston, you can put your creative prowess to the test by grabbing a hot glue gun, toilet paper roll, and a can of spray paint to create chic accessories for your napkins and add a unique touch to your dinner table (via TikTok). As long as you follow a few simple steps, your napkins can be presented in a flattering and uniformed matter that can also complement the rest of your table setting.

To create stunning napkin rings with a hot glue gun, you'll start off by grabbing an empty toilet paper roll and wrapping it with enough parchment paper to completely cover up the cardboard. Then, use the hot glue gun to create columns consisting of five circles all around the toilet paper roll. Since you used parchment paper, the design you've created should easily be able to slide off once the glue has cooled off and dried.

Next is the fun part! Grab a can of spray paint with whatever color best fits your table setting and completely spray down your design, allowing it to dry before slipping your napkins through. TikTok user @rina.huston used a can of Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Metallic Spray Paint in Matte Gold, which you can find on Amazon for $13.78. This color beautifully complemented her blush pink napkins and matched her gold dinner plate, resulting in a nice and contemporary look. However, feel free to play with this DIY. You can create shorter and wider versions that allow you to fold your napkin into an adorable bow.
