So I baked, I cooked, and I dressed up the table. I even got out the nice napkins… and realized, I have no napkin rings. So to match the gorgeous blue candle I was using as our centerpiece, I raided my bead stash for a quick and simple set of beaded napkin rings.
What you will need:
18-gauge wire (in the beading section of most craft stores)
Beads you love in varying colors, shapes, sizes
Wire cutters
Pliers
I cut off 20″ of wire. I used my pliers to make a small ring at the end – so the beads won’t fall off. Then, I just threaded them onto the wire randomly.
When I was done, I curled the other end of the wire too – and then wrapped the wire 3 times. The easiest way to do this is to find something round, and wrap it around. I just used a glue bottle!
That’s it! It took me about five minutes to make each one.
It made a great addition to our little table. Stay tuned – I’ll be sharing some of my recipes here soon! :)

Very nice. I use memory wire instead of the 20 gauge – that way I don't have to bend them. Joining from Wednesday Whatsits http://allthoseartsygirls.blogspot.com/
