Way back in the day….when I was a full time girl scout leader..
{Stop laughing. I was. And I never hurt or lost any children….that I know of}
..the girls and I made these fabulous Thanksgiving napkin rings.
Aren’t they cute? You don't have to answer…Cause I know, Yes, they are.
I love getting them out each year.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
And no lemons were involved in this craft project.
*Paper towel/toilet paper rolls, painted and cut.
*Then cheap silk flowers and greenery hot glued onto them. 
Perfectly festive.
And I have perfectly managed to forget I have toilet paper rolls on my expensive wedding china. Until today.
Did you locate your glue gun yet?
Those are really pretty! and they have lasted for you -that is amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery festive and I love your china. How in the world do you keep your cats from playing with the napkin rings??????
ReplyDeletetoilet paper roll or not, they look lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the girl scout crafts. Do you still have sit-upons?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful craft project! I have 4 little hands that I am sure will LOVE to try this when I get home!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think this might be a project to do with the little's in the near future! I can so see you as the best scout leader ever! Hope your Wednesday is wonderful...and thanks for the project idea! XX
ReplyDeleteYou are such a creative, fun mom.
ReplyDeleteCute, Cute, Cute!!! You know how much I LOVE glue guns!
ReplyDeleteAnd your little makeover on the chandelier shades paid off in a BIG way!!! They look fabulous!
Way to go!
You had me at "TP."
ReplyDeleteThey did turn out lovely.
What a CUTE idea! I may steal it.
ReplyDelete=)
I love that...although I might have to use a paper towel roll if I did it. LOL If you had pretty ribbon, you could cut it to that dimension and glue it on. So purty. You could do them for Christmas too. Plaid ribbon and a cute su'm su'm on the top. : )
ReplyDeleteI never would have guessed that you used TP to make those pretty napkin rings. You're very talented with that glue gun!
ReplyDeletei will vouch for you... we never lost any girls (though there were a few that we... oh, nevermind!)
ReplyDeleteanyway, laura's napkin rings need to be re-glued this year... we use them every year!
I remember all of the many, many years I worked with children's ministries in churches, that we would have all kinds of craft workshops... I cannot tell you the number of things I have made through the years using toilet paper rings..... Yow!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute napkin rings...

Going to nick that idea and do it with the grandkids. Love getting crafty with them and this is right up their alley.
ReplyDelete;-)
Now, THAT is a craft project even I could do.... really cool! I sense something to do with my 13 year old daughter next week (can you see her rolling her eyes yet... it's happening!!) :)
ReplyDeleteahhh - - - sweet memories - - - it flashes you back in time and fun together . . .
ReplyDeletehehe. I remember making Christmas (TP roll) napkin rings with my daughter years ago. Those things held up much longer than I had hoped. Actually, they could still be hiden in one of my gazillion Christmas deco boxes somewhere. Yours are much more grand than ours were though. The flowers are the cappers.
ReplyDeletexx-c (using the dogsblog 2day)
I think they're lovely! I wish I had some.
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe memory connection is what counts, not the TP rolls involved. I think they're pretty.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness but this is so funny...just last night, at a dinner with a group of Japanese PTA ladies, i made the comment that "any crafty mom in the states has at least one glue gun"!!!
ReplyDeleteI just got mine out and it will be out and HOT for a few months!!
I love those napkin holders...and i'm feeling inspired!!! ;-)
