If you are having Easter dinner, making a table just for the kids can be so special for them and fun for you at the same time!
Since I used my scraps of paper card stock these napkin rings cost me nothing to make.
Here is what is needed to make these cute napkin rings:
– card stock scraps (white, pink, yellow, and orange)
– a 2-1/2″ circle punch or you can trace around a can or cup the size you want
– tape and glue
-black acrylic paint or a black marker
– sticky glue dots (optional)
(All products can be purchased at Micheal’s Crafts or Hobby Lobby – don’ forget to use your 40% off weekly coupons)
Chicks:
After you have cut out all the pieces needed from the card stock, simply glue the pieces to the round head piece. The “feather” top piece is glued to the back of the chick’s head, glue the feet pieces to the lower front part of the round piece and the beak piece somewhere in the center.
Add two small dots for the eyes, and something I always do is to add some blush cheeks. I use a stencil brush with very little paint, almost dry to do this. Practice first!
The long paper strip is 8″ long and about 1-3/4″ wide. Tape or glue the paper strip together to form the napkin ring, and then glue the round piece to the strip. I used sticky glue dots which have sticky on both ends to raise the round piece up from the strip. I like the look, but if you do not have sticky glue dots just any paper glue will work. See photo below.
Glue dots are only $1.00 a pack at Micheal’s.
Bunny:
As with the chicks, after you have cut out all the pieces you need from the card stock, simply glue them to the round piece. The small piece shown in pink, which is the inside of the bunny’s ears, should be glued to the front side of the ears, and then the ears should be glued to the back of the bunny’s head. Glue the nose piece somewhere in the center.
Add two small dots for the eyes, and again something I always do is to add some blush cheeks. I used a stencil brush with very little paint, almost dry to do this. Practice first!
On the bunny also add whisker lines and a line for the mouth, as shown in the photos. Add the head piece to the round napkin ring strip (8″ long and 1-1/2″ wide) using the sticky glue dots or just any paper glue.
For fun you could make these with your kids to put on the plates of everyone coming for dinner.
The cute dot plates were under a dollar at Walmart.
So cute, so easy, and so much fun!
Happy Easter!
