What You’ll Need
- Fabric of your choice
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Buttons, ribbons, or any other embellishments (optional)
Step 1: Measure and Cut
Start by measuring the width and length of your fabric. For each napkin holder, you’ll need a rectangular piece of fabric measuring 6 inches by 12 inches. Use a ruler and fabric scissors to cut the fabric into the desired size.
Step 2: Fold and Sew
Take the rectangular fabric piece and fold it in half lengthwise, with the right sides facing each other. Use a sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew the two long sides together, leaving the short sides open. Make sure to secure the stitches at the beginning and end.
Step 3: Turn Inside Out
Once you’ve finished sewing, gently turn the fabric inside out. This will hide the seams and give your napkin holder a neat finish. Use a pencil or a ruler to push out the corners for a sharper look.
Step 4: Add Embellishments (Optional)
If you want to add some flair to your napkin holders, now is the time to get creative. Consider sewing on buttons, attaching ribbons, or using any other embellishments you prefer. These extra touches will make your napkin holders truly unique.
Step 5: Fold and Secure Napkins
To use your fabric napkin holders, simply fold your napkins in the desired style and slide them through the open end of the holder. The fabric will provide stability and keep your napkins neatly folded throughout the meal.
Making your own fabric napkin holders is a simple and rewarding DIY project. With just a few materials and basic sewing skills, you can create beautiful and functional napkin holders that will add a touch of style to your dining table. So, why not give it a try?
Remember to choose fabrics that complement your table setting and have fun experimenting with different designs and embellishments. Your guests are sure to appreciate the personal touch and effort you put into making these fabric napkin holders.
