We saw our niece and nephew sing at church tonight and it. was. wonderful! There’s something about little ones signing & singing songs about Jesus that always makes me teary. Speaking of Christmas and fellowship, if you’re hosting a family dinner and you’re looking for some inexpensive and easy ways to snazz up your dining room/kitchen table, how about giving your napkin rings some bling?
All you need are some plain napkin rings…
…a hot glue gun, glue sticks, and some “holiday bling” from the arts & crafts store…
Everything in the photo above was marked 50% off, and Kevin and I had a ball putting them together today. Of course we had to name them all too.
“Bingle Jells”
“Flutter By”
“Mistle. Yo.”
“It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s a napkin ring!”
Kinda pretty, huh? Or is it weird to have a bird nesting in the middle of your plate right before you eat off of it? Anywho…these next ones aren’t quite as…uh…………….these next few don’t have eyeballs.
These little adhesive-backed poinsettias went on especially quick…
(You could probably even make these if you wanted to get really crafty. They’re just made out of felt and corn kernels.)
I call it: “I want some spaghetti-a, under my poinsettia”
Remember, there are no mistakes in festive napkin ring-making, so just have fun with it!
PS- The hot glue blobs under your embellishments will peel right off, so you can go from holi-day to every-day, whenever you’re ready to switch ’em up!

Sweet ideas as always! I love that you named them. My favorite is, “Mistel. Yo”
Thank you for the tutorial on the napkin rings. Love the last pic 😉
Oh, what fun! The other day, I happened upon some old wreath ornaments I purchase a few years ago…and completely forgot. You know what I did today? I stuck some pretty cloth napkins right through them…yes, I did!
Happy decking the halls!
: )

That’s great! We’re trying to convince my in-laws to head our way so we can host Christmas. We just might have to make something like this if we get to host!
Layla, they are absolutely adorable. I wish I could find some of the items you used in yours. Precious. Thanks for sharing.
This just looks like too much fun!!
These are all so cute and easy to make (which is right up my alley). The bird in nest is one of my favorite!
Happy Holidays!
Have I ever told ya I think you’re goofy?! :0) (of course that’s goofy in a good kinda way!….just like me!) LOL
I LOVE the little bird’s nest and eggs…Oh so cute! Thanks for the sweet ideas!
Oh and seeing little kids sing about Jesus makes me teary too. 🙂 We have our Christmas musical at church this Sunday and it’s a combined adult and kid program….my little guy will be singing with me, so the whole getting teary eyed thing when I see him singing with me is probably not gonna be good for my singing voice. 😮
Love ya!
Missy
Great little projects. I bought some of the same things from Hobby Lobby when I was making a wreath. They have some fun stuff to choose from.
Bingle Jells has to be my favorite. 🙂
Super cute ideas! You guys are hilarious!! 🙂
These are soo cute! Love them!
I’ve been having fun with my own Christmas crafts. I just finished a PB inspired advent calender and posted it today! = )
I will have to make some napkin rings now….
This post is so great because it’s got a little bit of everything I like in it. (I mean, not that it’s all about ME or anything…. just saying.) It’s got some talk about kids singing about Jesus. Love that. 🙂 Then some gorgeous craft ideas that I dig along with awesome names, and finally some Edward reference. And is it weird that I like all those things lumped together? LOL You’re so fun!
You guys are a hoot!
Hi!
I’m a “newbie” to your blog and just love it!
You are just too cute and laugh out loud funny! And SO creative too!
May I ask where you purchased the little candy cane/peppermint candy doo-hickies?
We have Michaels and Tall Mouse in CA, but not Hobby Lobby…I didn’t see them at Michaels but another scrounging around might be in order!
Thanks so much!
My fav is “I want some spaghetti-a, under my poinsettia” I can imagine the two of you having a chuckle as you thought of this one. Love it!
Loved them all! You two are so creative. Thanks for sharing.
What a spectular idea 🙂 Really~ I was just looking online for a gift for my MIL and these would be so perfect. She is always hosting dinner parties and events. So…i just hot glue gun the accesories? Thanks for sharing.
Those turned out adorable! I love how each one is different. I think your dinner guest would each talk about the one they got. 🙂
You and Kevin are just too cute!
Layla, I’m glad I’m not the only one who crys when little ones sing songs about Jesus. I’ll be sitting over there bawling my eyes out hoping no one notices. I’m sure I’ll embarrass my kids one day, but it just touches my heart in a special way. Thanks for the fab napkin ring ideas and hilarious names. You are the best. Love the spoon picture. Y’all are just adorable. Can’t wait to meet your new little one. 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and Kev.
Oh Layla. You. Make. Me. Smile. There’s no one like you. Thanks for the great post. It just wouldn’t be the same post if the same content was written by anyone but you! Merry Christmas, Darlin!
These are SO CUTE! And don’t I know about that sealer! I’ve been glistening like a vampire for about a month now….
I love all the names…especially the “After dinner Hint.” Classic…. Great job!
You are hilarious my friend! I love your medley, so pretty, and your captions kill me!!!
xo
Kate
Okay…so I totally just laughed at the Twilight/glitter reference…I think people in the office now KNOW that I’m crazy! 😉
