How to Use Ribbon for Winter Napkin Holders

Video Transcript

Hi. I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you how to make seasonal napkin holders. Ooh! Look at winter. These are the supplies you're going to need for our next step. You'll need a hot glue gun or you can use your craft glue. Today I'm using the hot glue. Scissors, ribbon, your cut piece of cardboard tubing and a ruler to measure the ribbon. Again, I would really like you to use a satiny ribbon. This is not a satiny ribbon and it's just, it'll still look nice but it won?t be quite as nice as the satiny ribbon. I want you now to cut your ribbon. This, with the satiny kind of medium wide ribbon needs 45 inches. So I'm going to cut that. Now I want you to take your cardboard tubing and apply a little piece of glue right inside it. This is going to be your anchor point. And I want you to put the ribbon right on that. And that will anchor the ribbon inside. Then you're going to take some hot glue and for every strip that goes down, you're going to hot glue that. You're going to take the ribbon in again, bring it back through. You're going to glue another strip down. Pull it taught and it'll look nice. Weave it back through, glue another strip. You're going to have to pull it taught but also to the side to get it to line up again. Okay. Back through. Glue it again. You're going to do this all the way around. And you can make a different pleating effect with this as well. Just keep doing this all the way around. If you do it with a tighter thing so you would have to cut more ribbon you can have tight pleats or you can have wide pleats.
