Supplies

• 5 Wood Round Beads 1-in
• Naturally Wired vine wrapped wire
• White Paint Pen
• Several toothpicks
• 2 pink pony beads
• 2 green pony beads
• 2 yellow pony beads
• 2 purple pony beads
• 2 light blue pony beads
• Hot glue gun

Craft Smart paint:

Instructions

• Paint each of the wooden beads with each of the Craft Smart colors except for the white. Repeat for a second coat.
• Use a white paint pen to decorate some of the beads. Use a toothpick to add tiny polka dots and the handle end of a 4 Round paintbrush dipped in paint for larger polka dots.
• Place a cardboard tube on the work surface, standing up. Put a toothpick through the bead’s hole and rest it on the end of a cardboard tube so that the bead is suspended. Apply a coat of Triple Thick Gloss Glaze. After it’s dry, repeat for another coat.
• Use wire cutters to cut the vine wrapped wire into five 4-inch lengths. Insert into the hole of the wooden bead and bend the ends so that the bead won’t fall off. Add a dot of low temp hot glue to the ends and quickly twist the end so that the glue will hold down any frays.
• Place a pony bead (match the colored pony beads with the colored wood beads) on the work surface and add a dot of hot glue into the hole of the pony bead.
• Poke the end of the vine wrapped wire into the pony bead. Repeat on the other end of the wire and for all the napkin rings.
• Wrap napkin ring around napkin, bending the vine wrapped wire to fit your napkin.
