You will need...

Wire, pre-beaded (JR01816) x 5
Ribbon, satin, 7mm: purple; green; blue; pink; bronze
Pliers, round-nosed

Mix a few twists and turns of some beaded wire with a pinch from your pliers to work up these table dazzlers. They're absolutely gorgeous and so super easy to make, as the main element is already assembled for you. Josy Rose has a gorgeous range of pre-beaded wires, in fact the ones used here are actually bag handles that have been bent into a circular shape to form pretty napkin rings.

Napkin Rings

1. Select a prebeaded wire of your choice and bend twice round into a circle. Line the two end loops next to each other so there is a small gold bead tones between them. Using a pair of round-nosed pliers, slightly open the end loops to easily thread through coordinating ribbon.

2. Thread the ribbon through the right loop, over and under the gold bead. Pass back over the top and then through the left loop. Pull the ends of the ribbon together tightly and tie into a decorative bow. To finish, snip any frayed ends to create a neat finish.

Top Tips

Use contrasting ribbon colours for a vibrant effect; red satin with green beads would look fabulous on the Christmas table!
