Equipment

  • Poly Satin Ribbon in Black
  • AD Tech tape runner
  • Red glitter scrapbook paper
  • Iridescent duct tape in silver
  • White pipe cleaners

What You Will Need

  • Empty paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls
  • Clothespins optional
  • Craft knife or scissors
  • Glue gun

Instructions

  • Start by cutting 2 ¼ inch strips from your scrapbook paper. With an 8x10 inch sheet of paper, you should have five total strips.
  • Next, cut each paper towel roll into two-inch pieces. You should have a total of five pieces.
  • Turn the strip of paper over to the back. Add two strips of the tape runner on both long sides.
  • Then, take your paper towel and center it at the end of one of the strips of paper. Roll up as straight as possible all the way up to the end, so the edges of the paper towel roll and the edges of the paper are meeting and sticking. Secure with clothes pins to hold everything in place.
  • Next, take a 5x8 piece of black ribbon and apply the adhesive tape runner to the back. Wrap around the center of the paper towel roll for Santa’s belt and press the adhesive into the roll.
  • Make sure all your seams are in the same location when we do each step of this process.
  • Now I'm going to make Santa's little belt buckle. I used iridescent duct tape cut a little wider than the black ribbon. Then, I cut a small square out of the center.
  • Be sure to protect your work surface when using a craft knife. I'm using a mat on my work surface but if you don't have one, put a magazine or something under your project.
  • Then, remove the backing and apply to the center to finish the buckle.
  • To add the white fringe, hot glue white pipe cleaners around the top and bottom of the paper towel roll. After the glue has dried, our napkin rings will be ready for a holiday dinner!
