Steps to learn how to make an economical napkin holder with foam
The first step will be to take the foam sheet and place a CD at one end and mark the middle of it with the help of a skewer stick. In this way we will achieve a semicircle.
Next, take the coin and place it on top of the curved line you made with the skewer stick. Mark the undulations on the body of the coin the same way you did with the CD earlier.
Once you have marked all the waves, grab some scissors to cut out this design from the foam sheet.
Perform the same process on another foam sheet of a smaller size and a different color. The objective, when you finish, is to place this small piece on top of the previous one, which is larger in size, and join them with glue.
The result should be similar to two clouds at the top although the bottom one should be straight.
While this piece dries you can prepare another one following the same steps since we will need one more to make this economical napkin holder.
When you have finished, the next step is to take a cardboard cutout measuring 4,5 centimeters by 15 centimeters which you will cover on the top and bottom with sheets of foam in the color you like the most.
Next, join the three pieces you have: on the one hand the sides with corrugations made from the foam sheets and on the other the lined cardboard cutout that will serve as the basis for our craft.
Let it dry for several minutes. Then use some decorative adhesive beads as ornamental motifs. You can glue them to each outer wave and to the bottom of the napkin ring on both sides.
And ready! With fairly inexpensive materials and in just a few steps you already have a napkin holder ideal for use at celebrations or children's events.

Steps to learn how to make an economical napkin holder with recycled CDs
The first step to make this craft is to take a marker to mark a line from end to end under the hole. Then you will have to use the scissors to cut the CD along the line and thus leave a straight base.
To make the napkin ring we will use the largest part of the CD. Take it and attach it with glue to a sheet of yellow foam.
Next, use the scissors to cut out the silhouette of the CD glued to the foam sheet, removing the excess.
Draw the leaves of a pineapple on a sheet of cardboard or cardboard that is not very thick, since the napkin ring model that we are going to make on this occasion is this fruit.
Once you have the daughters drawn, use scissors to cut them out.
Then use frosty green foam to cover the leaves on one side with glue. For the other side, use a sheet of normal green foam.
In total you will have to make two identical pieces that look like a pineapple.
When you have finished, the next step is to take a cardboard cutout the length of the CD which you will cover on the top and bottom with yellow foam sheets.
Next, join the three pieces you have: on the one hand the pineapple-shaped sides and on the other the lined cardboard cutout that will serve as the basis for our craft.
Finally, let it dry and you would have your napkin ring ready to use on special occasions, especially during a summer dinner where you have guests at home.

- Fourteen ice cream sticks
- White glue
- A pencil
- A rule
- A cutter
- Paint colors and brushes
Steps to learn how to make an economical napkin holder with ice cream sticks
The first step you will have to take to make this craft is to take four ice cream sticks and glue them together. To do this, you will use white glue and apply it to the side edges of the ice cream sticks. Next, reserve a fifth stick that you will glue on top of the others diagonally.
The next step will be to take two more ice cream sticks to stick them sideways on the base of the napkin holder. One for each side. Then let it dry.
Then take two more ice cream sticks and make a mark towards the middle using a pencil and a ruler. Cut them in half with the help of a cutter. You will use them to stick them on the sides of the napkin holder as a small fence. You will have to do this step on both sides. When you have finished it, remember to put a stick across the middle to decorate the cake.
When the glue on the piece has completely dried, it will be time to paint the napkin holder with the colors you like the most. To do this you can use tempera paints and a brush or markers, the tools that best suit you.
You can leave the napkin ring like this or if you prefer you can also decorate it a little more. For example, gluing some flowers or butterflies to give it a prettier touch. A good idea may be to adapt the decoration of the napkin holders depending on the seasons of the year.
And ready! With these simple steps and a few materials that you can recycle at home, you will have managed to make a fantastic napkin holder to decorate your table.
