Description

I like to add coastal touches throughout my home. Using an old set of napkin rings, I reworked them using burlap, shells and sea glass.

Instructions

1. 

   Gather supplies. I used a set of old brass napkin rings that I already had on hand. I've also made napkin rings using a paper towel tube, cut into sections, as the ring.

2. 

   Spray paint the rings. I didn't want the gold to show through, so I gave the rings a quick coat of spray paint. I used a metal rod to hang the rings from while I was painting them. I placed the rod between two tree branches. I didn't want to get out a saw horse for this simple project, so I improvised.

3. 

   Measure and cut strips of burlap tape to fit around the outside of each ring. I found a roll of burlap tape that was just the right width for this. I've never used this before and while it did adhere to the rings, I added a dot of hot glue to make sure it stayed in place.

4. 

   Wrap the tape around the ring. I've never used this before and while it did adhere to the rings, I added a dot of hot glue to make sure it stayed in place.

5. 

   Glue shell to the napkin ring. I used a small amount of hot glue to secure the shell in place.

6. 

   Hot glue a small piece of sea glass to the underside of the ring.

7. 

   Repeat the steps for each napkin ring. I love using neutrals and adding in just a pop of color for table settings. This gives me the look I wanted.
