This project costs practically nothing, since the actually napkin ring is made from your trash. More specifically, the plastic tape roll inside the tape dispenser!
This is a great ombre project! In case you aren't familiar with the definiton of ombre, you can find it right here.
Supplies:
One plastic ring tape dispenser (I seriously have no idea what to call them - tape rolls?)
about 3-6 long pieces of embroidery floss in one general color, ranging from light to dark
scissors
a bit of glue
Start with the tape dispenser roll...
... and time to get out all those millions of packs of embroidery floss we all know we have! (atleast I do!)
Mark off even sections, depending on how many different shades of color you are using (I used 5)
Start wrapping!
When you switch to a new color, you can either tie off the first color you're using, or (like I did) just wrap the next color over the [first] end of the strand.
To tie off, simply knot or glue (I kind of did both!) whatever bits are sticking out. You're done!
(P.S. I spent the day at the lake - so pretty!)
