Napkin Wrap Up

July 29, 2010 by 3 Comments
Looking for interesting ways to present napkins at your place settings?  Here are 6 fun and unique ideas to try, from rustic to whimsical:
  1. Slide the folded napkin into a decorated or printed cake bag for an unexpected presentation.
  2. Wrap a wide leaf around the napkin and cut 2 slits into it to insert utensils or chopsticks.
  3. Use birch bark wraps as napkin rings for a rustic setting.
  4. You’re familiar with pretty paper wraps, but take it a step further by using strips of corrugated paper to wrap around, and tie with ribbon or a thinner piece of decorative paper.
  5. I love the idea of creating a menu band.  You can print out your menu on vellum, then attach 2 pieces together with double stick tape, or even sew them.
  6. For a fun look at a teen/tween party use beaded bracelets, or string your own and add a name tag.
I hope you’ll try one of these ideas the next time you set the table for entertaining!

    [...] Creative Place Card Display September 1, 2011 By Chris Leave a Comment // I love creating tabletops, and always look for new and interesting ways to display the same old elements {napkins, place mats, silverware, etc}. In this case I’ve found some super ways to display name/place “cards” to add lots of personality to your tablescape design. I think you’ll find the ideas are pretty self explanatory and all you need is a quick trip to the craft store, home store, office supply store, or back yard… {For creative napkin display check out these ideas} [...]
