WellWed on the Cape

Ridiculously cute and the perfect take-home wedding souvenir for guests, this burlap monogrammed napkin ring by Maya*Made is an easy and enjoyable project for any crafty maven. Read on to find out how.

Maya has been kind enough to supply us with instructions. Here are her words:

I combined some of my favorite ingredients for this burlap ring, all of which came from my scrap basket and recycling bin. Very festive for such humble materials!

For this project, you will need:

• 1. Toilet paper tube
• 2. Scraps of loose weave fabric (burlap is perfect) cut into short strips and one larger piece for the roll
• 3. Selvedge from a compatible fabric (linen)cut into smaller strips
• 4. Linen covered button(button kits available at sewing shops or online)
  
• 5. Alphabet stamps and stamp pad
• 6. Mod Podge
• 7. Needle and thread
  
  
• 
• 
  
• To Make:
  
  
• Step 1: Burlap blossom - first loop: fold strip of burlap and secure ends with a stitch.
• Step 2: Repeat first step until you've added all of your loops of burlap. Stitch each consecutive one to the next.
• 
  
• 
  

 Step 3: Continue with smaller loops of selvedge.

Step 4: Cover a shank button with a piece of linen (kits available at most sewing shops).

Step 5: Stamp with initial.

 
Step 6: Stitch button securely to the center of the blossom.
Step 7: Cut a tp roll into thirds.
Step 8: Paint a section of roll with Mod Podge.
Step 9: Attach a piece of burlap to the roll.

 

There are so many ways to customize these... the basic ingredients are a tube and some form of ID: an initial, number, symbol. Make these in your favorite style, and your table will feel complete and personal. I've got another very different version coming up!

Thank you, Maya!
