Ring in the holidays
Adding a few handmade touches to your holiday table always makes it feel more special. Typically I like to have some sort of centerpiece or garland at the center of my table and then add a couple of small details to make each table setting stand out. But if you want to keep things simple this year, these crepe paper mistletoe napkin rings are perfect on their own. Plus you can always make them in neutral colors (like gold or copper) if you want to use them for Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season.
Crafting tips: Since there are 12 leaves per napkin ring, you will need to cut 48 leaves total to make four napkin rings (or 72 for six napkin rings). So, while this pattern is simple enough to cut by hand, we recommend using a cutting machine for this very reason! Overall it will take about 2–3 hours to make six crepe paper mistletoe napkin rings with the help of a cutting machine.
How to Make Crepe Paper Mistletoe Napkin Rings
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern below.
- Cut crepe paper according to template notes using scissors or a cutting machine.
- Attach the large leaves to an 8″ piece of bind wire, then glue the small leaves together with no wire.
- Use your scissors to round the point of the leaves.

Back to the TopLove this project-attempting to make it a little fuller to use around the base of votive holders.
Two questions: I see Mod Podge in the photo tutorial, but don’t see it mentioned or pictured being used-thinking you used it for the leaves? Also any good tips on using the bind wire in the center of the leaves–trying to twist the paper wrapping to make it finer, which helps. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving
Hi Molly! Thank you for catching that– we ended up not using the ModPodge after all so just ignore that in the photo (we’ll update the photo tutorial shortly!) As for the bind wire, I would do exactly that (twisting it a few times if you’re finding it’s too thick), otherwise I like to flatten it out and just overlap the leaves a bit more to cover it. Then I just trim the tip off the leaf back into a point.
