Transform ordinary plastic grocery bags into charming, eco-friendly napkin rings with this DIY tutorial. With a handful of plastic grocery bags and some simple crafting supplies, you can create natural and stylish napkin rings. It's a quick and creative way to add a rustic touch to your dining experience.

Creating a napkin ring using plastic grocery bags

Instructions:

1. Prepare plastic grocery bags.
2. Cut both sides of the plastic bag to form a long rectangular shape.
3. Fold the plastic bag into thirds, and then cut it into three equal pieces.
4. Layer the three pieces on top of each other, then fold them in half. Cut them in half to create narrower strips.
5. Repeat the previous step twice more to create additional strips. Tape the top of the strips together to create a large tassel. 
6. If you have a clipboard, attach the top of the strips to it for easier braiding. Divide the strips into three equal sections and start a 3-strand braid. Continue braiding until the braid reaches a length of about 7 inches. Cut off any excess plastic bag strips and tape the ends together to secure.
7. You will need two braids for the napkin ring. Line up the two braids next to each other. Tape the ends and certain sections to secure the two braids, creating a smooth surface for wrapping.
8. Leaving about 1 inch free, apply fabric glue along the plastic braid. Begin wrapping jute cord around the braid, securing it with glue.
9. Keep wrapping and leave about 1 inch at the end of the plastic braid.
10. Tape the two braid ends together to form a ring shape.
11. Wrap the entire plastic braid with jute cord until it is completely covered. 
12. Trim any excess jute cord. Apply a final layer of fabric glue to secure the jute cord and yarn in place.
