Hello friends! I still have one more project to show you from my Spring Tablescape that I did a couple of weeks ago…
These DIY chalkboard napkin rings are simple and inexpensive to create and can be used for any holiday or special occasion.
MATERIALS
- shower curtain rings{I got mine at the dollar store}
- twine{also purchased from the dollar store}
- wooden discs {can be found at any major craft store}
- chalkboard paint
- Crop-O-Dile punch or drill
TO DO
- Spray your wooden discs with chalkboard paint {I did 3-4 light applications). You can either use the chalkpaint for the back as well or just use regular black acrylic paint.
- Cut a long piece of twine {I used around 4 feet} and start wrapping the rings with the twine. Leave about a 4 inch tail at each end. For the little section where the two ends of the shower ring meet, wrap your twine a few layers thick so that it will be the same thickness all the way around.
- Once the chalk paint has completely dried, prime the chalkboard by rubbing the side of your chalk over the board to completely cover it. Erase.
- Make a hole in the wooden disc using the Crop-O-Dile or a drill.
- Tie the chalkboard disc to the twine ring and decorate. You can use them for place settings, decorate them up for the season or add some vinyl if you have a Silhouette. So many possibilities! 🙂

Jenn – those are ADORABLE! Love that you can use them again and again!
Such a smart idea to use a shower curtain ring! I would never have thought of that. They turned out super cute! And of course anything with a chalkboard label is really fun. 🙂
Hi,
I love the color of the hutch in the background in your last picture. Did you paint that? If so would you share what color it is?
Thanks

These napkin rings are so cute and love that they can be reused. I never heard of a crop-o-dial! Have to look for one. Visiting from Wow Us Wednesdays. xo
Love this simple project!!! So versatile.
Good morning! I found your post at Lil’ Luna’s link party! This is such a great, crafty idea and it’s definitely a must-try! I would like to invite you to my party to link up this recipe for others to see! http://home-styled.blogspot.com/2013/04/link-party-show-your-style-sunday-5.html
Aren’t these just the cutest thing ever! Thanks for the inspiration!
These are adorable! I am going to share them on my FB page 🙂
Would you recommend a brand of chalkboard paint. And is one better at painting on plastic?—like a diaper wipe tub.
I am in love with this idea!!
These are adorable! I love the simple twine with the chalkboard name tag.
p.s. I was thrilled when I realized I could punch through wood with my crop-a-dile..I love that thing! 🙂
I would love for you to share this and link up to my TGIF Link Party! Who knows, you just might be featured next week!
