Sewing Patterns For Fabric Napkin Rings And Place Card Holders

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for creative ways to add a little something extra to your dining room décor. Well, have you considered making your own napkin holder?

Just take a look at this gorgeous napkin holder! It's made from buttons and fabric scraps, and it adds the perfect touch to your table setting. Best of all, it's incredibly easy to make.

How to Make a Button and Fabric Napkin Holder

To make your own napkin holder, you'll need the following:

Buttons in various sizes and colors
Fabric scraps
Thread
Needle
Scissors
Cardboard tube (optional)

Follow these simple steps to create your one-of-a-kind napkin holder:

Cut a rectangular piece of fabric. The size will depend on how many buttons you plan to use, but a good rule of thumb is to make it about 2 inches longer and 1 inch wider than the buttons.
Start sewing the buttons onto the fabric. You can do this in a uniform pattern or you can place them randomly. If you want to use a cardboard tube to give the holder some structure, slide it into the fabric before you begin sewing.
Continue sewing the buttons until the fabric is completely covered. You can overlap the buttons to create a fuller look or leave some spaces in between for a more minimalist style.
Once you have all the buttons sewn on, fold the fabric in half and sew the long sides together.
Turn the fabric right side out and fold it in half so the buttons are on the outside.
Sew the short sides of the fabric together to create a loop.
Insert your napkins and you're done!

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect napkin holder:

Experiment with different colors and sizes of buttons to create unique designs.
If you're using a cardboard tube, make sure it's the right size so it fits snugly inside the fabric. You can use a paper towel tube, wrapping paper tube, or even a toilet paper tube.
Try using different fabrics to create a variety of looks. Denim or burlap would give the holder a rustic feel, while silk or satin would make it more elegant.
If you don't want to sew the short sides together, you can use fabric glue to close the loop instead.
Make sure you use a strong thread that won't break easily, since you'll be pulling on it quite a bit to attach the buttons.

With just a few buttons and some fabric scraps, you can create a beautiful napkin holder that will impress your guests and add a touch of style to your dining room décor. So why not give it a try?
