Indian Corn Napkin Rings

What you'll need:

* Green construction paper
* Scissors
* Tissue paper: yellow, orange and burgundy
* White craft glue
* Pencil with an eraser

How to make it:

1. Cut construction paper vertically in strips about 1.5” wide. Each strip will yield two napkin holders.
2. Cut each strip in half to get 2 napkin holders.
3. Cut tissue paper into 1” squares.
4. Cover a 1” section of the construction paper strip with white craft glue.
5. Twist a square of yellow tissue paper around the pencil eraser and push down onto the glue. Remove pencil, leaving the tissue paper on the construction paper.
6. Repeat step number 5 with tissue paper, alternating orange and burgundy for every 2-3 yellow.
7. Cover entire strip of construction paper, leaving only ½” at the end without tissue paper.
8. Bend into a “ring” and glue together.
9. Let dry completely then carefully insert a napkin.

Tips:

* Save tissue paper from birthday gifts to use in future projects.
* Buy construction paper in value packs from discount department stores.
* White school glue is a suitable substitute for white craft glue.
