Christmas parties held in your home will definitely be more memorable with a beautifully designed table. The napkins placed on each plate can definitely contribute to the table’s overall appearance, so don’t forget to pay attention to how each napkin looks. The good news is that there are many ways for you to give table napkins a more festive feel. Consider these ideas on dressing up Christmas napkins to make your dinner table even more beautiful this year.
Napkin Rings
The easiest way to make table napkins look more interesting is to use holiday-themed napkin rings. Napkin rings are available in many department stores and online shops, so you shouldn’t have trouble looking for the right rings. Of course, you can also go the extra mile and make handmade rings for your table napkins. A PVC coupling can serve as a sturdy base for a napkin ring. Wrap a length of green, red, gold, or silver ribbon around the coupling, making sure to conceal the ribbon’s ends inside the coupling.
Once the coupling is fully wrapped, you can glue small holiday-themed ornaments to it. Christmas napkins with clusters of holly leaves and berries and bells can definitely make any dinner table look better.
Napkin Holders
Napkin holders are great accessories for napkins that are folded upright on plates. The thicker bodies of napkin holders work great for holding table napkins in position. If you want to save money on buying these items for your Christmas table, you can make the holders yourself. All you need to make a napkin holder are cardboard tubes, decorative ribbon, acrylic paint, and miniature Christmas ornaments or charms.
For napkin holders, it’s best to use wider types of decorative ribbon. You can use the cardboard tubes found in the center of rolls of toilet paper or paper towels. Cut the cardboard tubes into pieces that match the thickness of the ribbon. Glue a piece of ribbon around the small tubes and finish each tube off with a bow in front. You can also opt to paint the tubes instead and decorate the tubes with miniature Christmas-themed charms once the paint is dry.
