Napkin rings for a crowd can be draining if you don't happen to collect matching silver napkin rings as a hobby. And since most of us don't, then figuring out what do do at Thanksgiving is a trick. You can always stick the napkin under the fork - hiding it a bit and disguising the fact that there was nothing else going on with it. Or you can attempt to fold it in a fancy design. Maybe the shape of the Mayflower? But if you don't starch your napkins really well when ironing then they come out looking mostly like Plymouth Rock.
This year I figured out a way to create a little nod to the holiday in napkin ring form. It's a subtle buckle reminiscent of the stereotypical buckles the pilgrims wore on their shoes. Plus it's inexpensive - so you can fill the whole table with pilgrim buckles.
Pilgrim Buckle Napkin Ring (for each 'ring')1 buckle
1/4 yard double faced satin ribbon
Step 1 :: Loop one end of the ribbon through the buckle and hold tight.
Step 2 :: Loop the second end of the ribbon around the napkin and back through the buckle. Pull tight.
These napkin rings gives a nice touch for any Thanksgiving dinner table. The napkin rings are fairly easy to make and keeps the kids occupied while you are preparing the Thanksgiving meal. Thanks for this fabulous post.
