Bee Creative. . . Napkin Ring Tutorial.

Although there seems to be no shortage of dishes for tablescaping,
napkin rings On Crooked Creektt are another story all together.

Recently, 
I put together a whimsical tablescape 
using my vintage honey pot collection, bee stemware and plates.

While gathering my black and white check napkins,
my eyes glanced upon the buttery yellow beaded candle/napkin rings.

Inspiration + creativity = bee napkin rings!

By using three elements readily available,
I designed the whimsical bee napkin rings for Tablescaping With The Bees. . .

First,
I gathered together the necessary items:
*the buttery yellow beaded napkin ring
*narrow black and white ribbon
*four bee measuring spoons

Next,
I used 1 tsp. and 1/4 tsp. spoons and a 18" length of the striped ribbon.
Squeezing the ribbon together,
I forced it into the opening atop the 1 tsp. and tied a loose knot.
The knot is to keep the two measuring spoons separated, preventing breakage.

Then,
I squeezed the ribbon together a second time.
This time I forced the ribbon through the opening in the 1/4 tsp. opening.
By turning the measuring spoon upside down, 
it creates an element of surprise for your guest.

Now,
I gently slid the two measuring spoons together.
Wrap the ribbon around the napkin ring and tie in a short fat bow.

Slide your napkin by the corner through the napkin ring opening 
and you have a unique, delightful napkin ring for your dining pleasure.

By repeating the process, I created a second napkin ring.

This time, I used the 1 Tbsp. and the 1/2 tsp. measuring spoons.

Wrap the ribbon around the beaded napkin ring, 
tie in a short fat bow and you've completed the second bee napkin ring.

 Slide the napkin through the napkin ring 
and you're ready to amaze and delight your family and dinner guests!
