Napkin Rings

Don't you just love cloth napkins? In order to not have to wash them every time you use them, I've made personalized napkin rings for us. That way we can use them for a week or so, then wash them and start over.

It is a little reminiscent of my stepfather, Ed Melzer. He used to save his paper napkin between meals. This is a new way to save a tree, one paper napkin at a time. Or, just an excuse to enjoy cloth napkins at dinner.

I used plastic plumbing couplers, stamped them with alcohol inks and wrote our names on them with a Sharpee. It was a great excuse to use the alcohol inks, which are addictively fun!
