5. Beaded Corn Cob Napkin Rings
Add a pop of color to your Thanksgiving table with beaded corn cob napkin rings. Use yellow and white pony beads threaded onto pipe cleaners to mimic the kernels of corn. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together to form a ring, then wrap a green pipe cleaner around the center to create the corn husk. Slide a napkin through the ring for a festive touch.
Materials: Yellow and white pony beads, green and yellow pipe cleaners, scissors.
Time: 15 minutes per ring
Difficulty: Easy to moderate (beading may require fine motor skills)
These are lightweight and reusable, so you can pull them out year after year. For a budget-friendly version, use painted pasta (dyed with food coloring) instead of beads.
