DIY Pinata Napkin Rings

DIY pinata napkin rings are a great way to bring any Cinco De Mayo, birthday, or other party to life. Color, texture, and personality are just a few of the things the pinata napkin rings will bring to your party. You can even customize the napkin rings by using your favorite colored napkins. What you need:

• paper cocktail napkins
• cardstock
• tape
• scissors
• polyester dinner napkins

Step 1: Gather your materials. Step 2:  Cut paper napkins to your desired size. We cut each colored paper napkin approximately 4.75" x 3.5" and used 5 different colors. Step 3: Lay your colored napkins out in order and get your tape & cardstock ready. Step 4: Tape your first colored napkin to your piece of cardstock. We cut each cardstock piece to be approximately 5" x 3.75". Step 5: Continue to tape each colored napkin onto your piece of cardstock leaving about 0.5" in between each napkin. Step 6: We are almost there! Step 7: Cut slits into each layer of your pinata napkin ring leaving about 0.25" in between each slit. Now that our napkin ring is ready to be put onto a napkin, let's fold our napkin...burrito style! What you need:

• a polyester napkin
• pinata napkin ring

Step 1: Fold the polyester napkin in half two times. Step 2: Fold the napkin in half diagonally (creating a triangle shape). Step 3: Start rolling the napkin beginning at the point of the triangle. Step 4: Finish rolling your burrito napkin. Step  5: Adhere the pinata napkin ring around your burrito napkin fold. We used tape to adhere the napkin ring. You can also use glue or a mini stapler to secure your napkin rings. Feel free to tuck your silverware into the inside of your burrito, a.k.a napkin, and viola!
