Children love making gifts for their parents and other adults who
are important to them. But what can they make that will delight the
person they are giving the gift to?
Here's how you can quickly and easily get lots of simple, high quality
gift ideas that you children can make. Guaranteed to be fun the
children making the gift, and a delight for the person receiving it.
For each napkin ring choose a pipe cleaner and some beads.
String the beads on the pipe cleaner.
When the pipe cleaner is full of beads, twist the ends so the
beads can't slide off.
Wrap the pipe cleaner around the toilet paper tube to shape it
like a napkin ring.
Slide the napkin ring off the tube and put a napkin through the
ring.
Tips
If you want the finished napkin rings to match a theme, choose
pipe cleaners and beads that are the right color. For a
Thanksgiving table you could put out orange and brown pipe
cleaners. For Christmas you might want to use silver and
gold.
Older kids can get much more creative. They can bend the
pipe cleaner to create decorative shapes. Or even use a second
pipe cleaner with beads to create a special item to decorate the top
of the napkin ring. See pictures for ideas.
Use pipe cleaners to create initials for personalized napkin
rings.
