Fancy a classy napkin holder?

Having a spiffy Christmas bash? Preparing a romantic dinner? Or a wedding perhaps?

Since Christmas is around the corner, here are some fancy schmancy ideas for decorating the dinner table...

Fold and roll a napkin..

Place an autumn motif ribbon under the napkin, and an elegant rhinestone studded ribbon slider on the top like so..

Slip one side of the ribbon through the slider...

Do the same for the other side...

 

Pull both ends till the ribbon fits snugly (but not too tight) around the napkin...

Take one end of the ribbon and pull it through the slider again, leaving a loop...

Do the same for the other side...

Tip: Fold the ribbon into a sharp point for easy pushing and pulling ;)

And you're done!

For a little variety around the table, slip both the ribbon ends through the slider, then instead of making a bow, loop the ends around the napkin. Here I used a ribbon with a Christmas hollies print and a different slider...

Sprinkle on some snowflakes to spice up the setting...

And for the final touch, why not spell out a greeting using these gorgeous Alphabet sliders and interlace it among a deep red, organza ribbon?

Time to bring out the Sauvignon Blanc and have a wonderful party!
