I’ve come to realize that I’m not one of those bloggers who can crank out Thanksgiving crafts in August. My brain doesn’t work that way and neither does my life. In August I’m all about the garden, putting produce away for the winter and spending time out in my kayak. Living in the moment – in the current season. That’s why I’m often putting up last minute projects. And while folks will tell me that it’s bad for SEO because I get it all up so late it’s good for my soul. And that is what really matters to me.
So here we are two days before Thanksgiving and I’m just now, seriously like 20 minutes ago, making napkin rings.
Easy, sparkly and pretty. You can’t beat THAT!
What you’ll need:
- Bead assortment – All of mine are from Jesse James Beads
- Memory Wire – gold
- Metallic embroidery floss
- Gold wire
- Pattie Wack Tassel Maker
- Memory wire cutters
- Wire Cutters
- Round Nose Pliers
Cut the memory wire with the memory wire cutters so that it overlaps one turn by an inch or two.
Create a curl at one end with the round nose pliers
Add beads as desired.
Create a loop in the second end and connect the two loops.
Add a crystal, a small tassel or leave it as it. However you like it!
See
What size of memory wire did you use? Ring?
Hi Rebecca,
I’m using bracelet sized memory wire. My napkins are pretty large and heavier weight fabric.
I hope that helps.

Love this idea! Beaded housewares are some of my favorites. Your thanksgiving table is going to be beautiful. Thanks for using our Jesse James Beads in this super fun thanksgiving decoration project!
Thanks, Sarah.
My guests are going to love these napkin rings.
Now I just have to decide if I will let them take them home or keep them all to myself. 🙂
Xoxo
