How to Make Napkin Rings from a Belt

DIY napkin rings

taking an old belt and turning it into a set of napkin rings is super easy! here’s how i did it. {i’m using a different belt for the tutorial. i forgot to take pics when i made the flower napkin rings. oops!}
Supplies:
  • scissors
  • belt {look for thin belts, no thicker than 3/16″}
  • 3/16″ eyelets {2 per ring}
  • crop-a-dile or eyelet setter and 3/16″ hole punch
  • strong glue {i used gorilla glue}
cut your belt into 5″ sections. out of the 3 sets i made, i average 5 napkin rings from each belt. it depends on how long your belt is as to how many you’ll get.
wrap 5″ sections around into a ring and overlap edges by about 1/4″. punch a 3/16″ hole through both layers. i punched one layer at a time, then lined up and punched the second layer.
use your eyelet setter and set a 3/16″ eyelet in the hole. make sure eyelet goes all the way through.
punch holes on the other side.
and set your other eyelet.
notice that lip? to make that stay down, i used a dab of gorilla glue
and used a hair clip to hold it in place over night.
this is the set i made with this faux ostrich belt. now weren’t those easy? i found several cheap belts at the thrift store and made several sets. super cheap and very chic!
