entertain-tip #6... put a ring on them

i'm a big believer in the simple things... nothing too ornate or over the top, so that (whatever the object may be...) its innate beauty and charm can shine through.

so when i spotted the leather napkin holders @ bar bambino, i had to ask and find out where they were from.

turns out the charcuterie obsessed, wine loving, passionate staff @ bar bambino are also quite handy, cutting & doweling these leather straps themselves.

learning that lil' tid-bit not only inspired me to try and get my hands on some remnant leather pieces & make some of my own, but got me thinking about how easy it would be to replicate this with just about any material.

leather, lace, cotton, linen... you name it.

it's easy as 1,2,3...
1. cut material into triangles.
2. punch a whole at the widest end.
3. roll up napkin, wrap fabric around it, and pull thru the hole!

and voila!

...finally some napkin rings that my linens will be happy to wear!
