Last Spring, the the local church that my husband and I attend had a ladies tea. Since I have lots of pretty china/porcelain dinnerware, along with tea cups and saucers (thanks to my Mom), I offered to set and host a table of ladies. I had so much fun planning and decorating the table that I thought I’d share something crafty that I made for my decorated table with others.
I had plenty of crocheted flowers and leaves already made (and I love the look of crocheted flowers and leaves), so I decided to make some Floral Napkin Rings for my decorated table. I looked for inspiration/instructions online and I found some to help me decide how I wanted to make my napkin rings.
Here’s a close up of one of the floral napkin rings that I made (each one has a different stye flower and/or color):
After I made the napkin rings, I decided to try some things out on my table at home to see how they looked. Here’s my set up table at home after I figured out what worked well together:
I used some lacy crochet coasters that I had made previously under the glasses and some lacy paper placemats under the plates, as well. The pretty flower centerpiece was something I inherited from my mom (she had great taste in just about everything!).
Here’s my set up table at church (we purposely left a few places unset at each table so nobody had their back to the speaker):
Last year, I typed up the instructions for making these napkin rings and I thought I’d finally share them with anyone who would like to make some for themselves or to give as a gift. Since the flower patterns are all copyrighted, I can’t share those with you. However, I’m sure you’ll find plenty of patterns for crocheted flowers in books, magazines and online to use! You can download the pdf instructions for these Floral Napkin Rings here.
Happy crocheting (and crafting),
Susan
