These colorful table setting decorations really capture the flavor of the holiday -- and make a fun project for kids to work on a day or two before the big day.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Felt
Popsicle sticks Tacky glue Small paintbrush Buttons in assorted colors (you can buy them by the bag in many craft stores) | |
| Seasons: Fall, Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: felt, glue | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  For each napkin ring, cut a 4- by 5 1/2-inch piece of felt.
Starting at one short end of the rectangle, glue on 12 Popsicle
sticks (it's less messy if you use a small paintbrush to spread
the glue), lining them up side by side. You should end up with a
margin of uncovered felt at the end. |
| 2. |  Once the glue dries, form a ring by gluing the overlapped
felt together |
| 3. | Now comes the fun part: glue on rows of buttons, alternating the colors to resemble an ear of Indian corn. Let the glue dry completely. |
| 4. | When it's time to use the rings, roll up corn-husk-colored
napkins. Insert one in each ring so that a portion extends above
the cob.
