1) Cut the cardboard tube into rings that are approximately 1" wide.
You will need one ring for each napkin ring.
2) Paint the cardboard ring in a color that compliments the fabric
shape you have chosen. Be sure to paint the whole ring
including the inside and the edges. Set aside to dry.
3) Roughly cut around the picture you wish to use. At this
point do not cut close to the picture.
4) Using a paint brush or sponge applicator, apply a layer of Modge
Podge (or whatever decoupage glue you are using) to the cardboard and
lay your fabric right side up on top of the cardboard. Then, paint
a layer of Modge Podge (decoupage glue) over the top (right side) of
your fabric.
 5)
Let dry completely. Then, carefully cut around your shape (in my
case the leaf) trimming off the extra fabric or napkin leaving just the
shape.
6) Turn your leaf (or other shape) over and paint the cardboard on
the back to match the cardboard ring. Let dry.
7) Glue the leaf to the cardboard ring. If you use hot glue,
you will receive an instant bond. If you use tacky glue , lay your
leaf face down on your work surface. Apply some tacky glue to the
center of it and place the painted cardboard ring into the glue.
Let glue dry completely before moving or using the napkin ring.
- You could use glue dots or heavy duty 2-sided tape to attach the
cardboard ring if making this project with children.
- As a variation of this napkin ring, you can cut out a shape
(teddy bear, heart, Christmas tree etc.) from cardboard or cardstock
and decoupage a piece of small print calico fabric to the front of
it.
