Napkin Rings from Towel Roll

Hello Crafters!  Here is an easy napkin ring tutorial.  Make for yourself or for gifts.

When your paper towel roll is empty, take the cardboard roller and cut about 2 inch wide pieces.  This roll made 8 rings.  Next I took some fall Apple fabric from my stash and cut strips a little wider than each ring and used white tacky glue to paste onto the ring.



Then I cut a smaller piece of fabric for the inside of the ring and glued that down.   And then I let the glue dry overnight.



   Add a white napkin and now you have your own designed napkin rings!  I used "Aleene's Okay to Wash It" glue so the napkin rings can be moist cloth cleaned if stained.

You can also make napkins rings with Christmas print, which I also have in my stash and I plan to make aprons from both the apple and the Christmas print-NEXT!

I have been busy crocheting things for my Etsy Shop: Scarves, dish cloths and a darling crocheted Teddy Bear!  You can buy from this page by clicking Buy Now in my side bar or go to our Etsy Shop site.

Sweet crocheted Teddy Bear with Polka Dot ribbon 8" tall.

Detail of button features.  My own original
creation.

He is so soft and cuddly,  great gift for teens.  Not recommended for toddlers as they put toys in their mouth and could be a choking hazard.

My Krafty Heart to Yours...

Teddy Bear by Kerrie

HERE IS MY DARLING KERRIE BEAR!!*

I have been making these bears since the 1970's for friend and family as well as to sell in a little shop I owned in my hometown.  They are made with unbleached muslin, polyfiberfill stuffing, hand embroidered face and satin bow.  This one is for a little girl named Nina and I have put her name on the red heart that the ribbon is hiding.  So these can be personalized.  Bear is completely washable and dryer safe.  These are not only good for little ones but teens like them for an Autograph Bear for their friends to sign.   Mine is autographed on the back side by me, the maker :^)

The Kerrie Bear is semi posable with floppy arms and legs.  He or she is 18"from ear to toe tip and 13" from paw tip to paw tip.  Can be dressed in infant clothes. This is a really fun and cuddly bear!

The pattern is difficult in that all the arms and legs have to be stuffed and pinned inside of the torso and then pulled back through the neck opening before stuffing the body, and adding the head.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my little bear.  If you would like to order one with someone's name on the heart, please e-mail me.  I hope to have some available made up for my Etsy Shop (link in sidebar) very soon and I can personalize at the time of purchase by adding the name on the heart.

Thank you for visiting as always and do visit my other blogs!
