Napkin rings are one of those things that aren’t really necessary, but when you use them, they elevate your meal with a nice decorative touch. And the simple act of removing a napkin from a holder says, “OK, let’s eat.”
Just in time for Rosh Hashanah, these easy-to-make hamsa napkin rings would be perfect for your holiday meal. It’s also a great craft project to do with the kids during this special time.
What you’ll need:
Colored cardstock
Pencil
Scissors
Colored markers
Hole punch or hobby knife
Decorative brad
1. Cut a strip of colored cardstock to 1-by-6 inches.
2. Draw a hamsa shape on cardstock with a pencil. Make it about 2 inches high.
3. Cut out the hamsa shape with scissors and decorate it with markers.
4. Punch a hole in the palm of the hamsa and insert a decorative brad through the opening. If you’re using a hobby knife, make sure to keep it away from kids.
5. Roll the strip of cardstock into a loop, punch a hole where the ends overlap and insert the decorative brad through the opening. Spread the tines of the brad to lock the hamsa in place.
