How to make nautical napkin rings for a seaside-inspired table setting
Simple pleasures: These handmade sailing-rope napkin rings only take minutes to make
Updated July 3, 2013
Sunset suppers are the perfect way to take in warm summer evenings. Capture the seaside feel by pairing crisp white plates with blue napkins and handmade sailing-rope napkin rings. Take six lengths of rope and braid them together (in pairs). Tape ends to prevent fraying, then melt with a lighter. Grab your Top-Siders and captain's hat, and you're ready to cruise. Yacht optional.
