I am a deadline girl, and often motivation doesn’t hit until say, the night before the holiday. This can be a little inconvenient. For instance, all of a sudden, I am gripped with a sudden desire to make a new tablecloth and napkins…but we’re hosting tomorrow and hoping to do a lot of pre-cooking tonight. So stitching up a few of these fluffy fringe rings may have to satisfy my sudden crafting desire.

This is the brooch I made for my mom’s poncho – only a little bigger so it fits a napkin. This is a really simple project, but I put together a little photo tutorial over here. I used a fringe called brush fringe that you can find in the upholstery trim section of a fabric or craft store.

I don’t usually use napkin rings, but what can I say? Maybe I’m finally becoming a grown-up. Or a dork. Either way, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
