Better Homes and Gardens Australia — December 2017

On the first day of

Christmas my true love

sent to me, a partridge

in a pear tree

3 SCALLOPED
NAPKIN RING
Give your table napkins
a festive twist. Use a paper
punch to make scalloped
circles from glitter card,
then, using the dips in the
scallops as a guide, fold
concertina creases to give

your ‘flower’ dimension.

Make a small hole in the

centre and thread the

hanger of a tassel through

it. Arrange a ribbon

around your napkin, slip

over the tassel hanger and

tie the ribbon to secure

the ‘flower’ in place.

4 WHAT A PAIR!

The partridge may be missing, but

a beautifully embroidered pear

makes a mighty fine ornament

or take-home gift for your

guests. And don’t you love

the gift tag? Make a swag of

them using a tag punch.

Decorate each with fine

glitter sprinkled over

two narrow strips of

double-sided tape

across the bottom. A

letter sticker for each

recipient personalises it.
