How to make a herb napkin ring

To make ours, we used evergreen herbs like bay and rosemary, as well as colourful crab apples. You could make them even more Christmassy by swapping out some or all of these plants for things like holly, English ivy and mistletoe.

Follow these easy steps to create your own herb napkin rings.

You Will Need

• Three crab apples with stalks attached
• Two rosemary stems
• Green florist wire (0.46mm/26swg diameter)
• Red ric rac ribbon (60cm length)

Total time: 25 minutes

Step 1

Bring the ends of a rosemary stem together to form a circle, then secure with wire. Place it around your rolled napkin.

Step 2

Wrap the stems of a bay leaf, crab apples and a sprig of rosemary with wire. Cover with ribbon and tuck into the napkin.
