To follow up on the board she made back in the summer, so that she wouldn’t feel lonely, she created a napkin holder from CDs.

I couldn’t bend the discs, so I cut them off and glued them in. (I glued the stand disk on top with 3 separate pieces of corrugated cardboard and a disk cut into 3 pieces - like a layer cake. This would create grooves into which I inserted the vertical disks). Just in case, I secured it with another strip of cardboard. But this is just me from my passion for reliability, although it holds up just fine. (You can break everything if you want!)

I will be VERY grateful to anyone who can teach me how to bend discs. Although, maybe the quality of the discs themselves is different?

FOR THOSE WHO WILL DO IT - SMALL MK - To make the work neat and reliable, it is better to do the work in the following sequence: 1. Cut the parts (only the lower disk will be solid).

2. Glue the pieces of the cut disk (which will overlap the bottom disk) with their cardboard counterparts. We do not duplicate vertical half-disks with cardboard.

3. Putty and sand the ends of the base disk.

4. Make decoupage of all the necessary surfaces and only then assemble everything: First, glue 1 semicircle on the lower disk, then coat the resulting corner with MOMENT glue (at the place where the horizontal planes differ) and press the vertical semicircle there TIGHTLY. Then glue the middle upper horizontal part, also pressing it as much as possible against the vertical semicircle. Then, in the same way, the second vertical semicircle and lastly the 2nd horizontal. Carefully fill any small cracks in the corners with the same MOMENT - fortunately it is liquid, transparent and the tube is equipped with a thin spout!

It is not always possible to buy the necessary accessories for the kitchen or living room, but you can always make the necessary items yourself. Handmade crafts will perfectly decorate any room, and their main feature is uniqueness. In this article we will talk about the methods and materials from which a napkin holder can be made with your own hands. It will be exclusive, beautiful and will perfectly complement the kitchen interior.

Possible materials for work

Today, a do-it-yourself napkin holder can be made from different materials that are found in almost any home. These include:

• plastic bottle caps;
• CDs;
• plywood;
• cardboard;
• paper;
• clothespins;
• plastic or plastic.

Below we will present only the most popular types of napkin holders and the materials that are used to make them. We will provide a step-by-step guide on how to craft said items.

Cardboard napkin holder

A cardboard napkin holder will allow you to master the basic rules and techniques of cardboard making, which will help you make cardboard boxes, boxes and other items in the future. To create the product you will need:

1. Cardboard 4 mm thick.
2. Colored paper - 3 sheets.
3. PVA glue.
4. Glue "Moment".
5. Scissors.
6. Ruler, pencil.
7. Clothespins.

Step-by-step manufacturing guide:

1. From cardboard you need to cut 4 semicircles for the walls, as well as 2 rectangles for the bottom. Sizes and shapes are arbitrary.
2. The cut parts need to be joined with Moment glue. For secure fixation, you can use mounting tape. Only half of the napkin holder is connected with glue - this will allow you to paste it over without much difficulty.
3. A drawing of the necessary figure to decorate the napkin holder is made on colored paper. The allowance should be left about 4 cm.
4. Parts of paper are folded and pasted over the cardboard from the outside. For these purposes, PVA glue is used. The allowances are glued inside the napkin holder. For secure fixation, you can secure the paper with clothespins.
5. After the glue has dried, you need to start gluing the inside of the workpiece. Colored paper is cut a couple of millimeters smaller in size and glued inside, similar to the previous point.
6. After all the parts are pasted over, you need to connect both parts of the workpiece using Moment glue.

So you made your own napkin holder! You can use not only paper, but also fabric as decoration. The sequence of work is similar, but before pasting with fabric, the cardboard must be covered with white paper.

Napkin holder made from discs

CDs are practically not used now, but such material is available in almost every home. A napkin holder made from discs, meanwhile, can be an excellent addition to the kitchen. The process of creating it is simple, and a person can handle it even without much experience:

1. Markings should be made on two disks for trimming. It is recommended to use a ruler and marker for this. The cutting line depends on the height of the future product.
2. Then the marked part is cut off with scissors. To give evenness, the cuts are processed with sandpaper.
3. Next, you need to cut the cork plug into two parts and sand it with sandpaper.
4. You need to put plugs on the discs and measure the places where they are attached with a regular napkin.
5. The surface of the disk is degreased and both parts of the cork are glued to one disk, after the glue has set to the other.
6. After finishing the work, you can apply paint or varnish to the surface of the disc. You can also cover the napkin holder with paper or cloth.

On discs, the varnish may appear in stripes, but do not worry, after complete drying they will disappear, and the texture will be perfect.

How to make a napkin holder from plywood

It turns out the strongest plywood napkin holder. The procedure for its manufacture is as follows:

1. You need to make a drawing of the elements on a sheet of plywood. In the described case, the length will be 145 x 75 mm, and the depth will be 28 mm.
2. The intended parts are cut out with a jigsaw. For decoration, you can cut a shaped hole in the plywood. To do this, initially a hole is drilled, and then the required shape is sawed out with a jigsaw.
3. You need to decide on the width of the product and cut out the necessary strips from the material for the connection. The size of the planks is 10-15 mm.
4. Next, you need to attach all the parts to each other and check the evenness and compatibility. If necessary, remove humps and irregularities on the plywood with sandpaper.
5. Now you can glue all the elements with wood composition.
6. When the plywood napkin holder dries, it can be painted or varnished.

In order to give the product an antique look, you will need to apply white paint, and after it dries, rub it with a little sandpaper to artificially age your napkin holder.

Decorating napkin holders

You can decorate the finished product using different methods. There are no restrictions in this - it all depends on the design and personal imagination. You can use not only fabrics, paper or paints. Additionally, you can glue ribbons, beads, stones and other accessories.

If you don’t have the necessary elements for decoration at hand, but the kitchen design requires them, then you can buy accessories in special stores. As a rule, they cost a penny, but the napkin holder looks much better.

Conclusion

As you can see, making a napkin holder with your own hands is very simple and from any available materials. It is important to show desire and allocate a little time for production. It is worth noting that this can ultimately be an excellent gift, because it is handmade and no one else will have such a product. And if you use your imagination and do quality work, you can sell the products and earn extra money from it.

How to make a napkin holder with your own hands

If, while setting the table, you suddenly discover that you don’t have a napkin holder, don’t be upset. You can easily make it yourself from any available material. For example, from cardboard. It is always in the house, and it is convenient to work with it.

Thanks to this publication, you will learn how to make a variety of napkin holders with your own hands - I present as many as 10 step-by-step master classes with unique photographs and descriptions.

DIY napkin holders made of cardboard

Bright with openwork trim

Take a double-sided piece of cardboard with a beautiful, bright design. Cut out a rectangle measuring 10 x 3 cm and 2 semicircles.

Glue all the parts together using a heat gun (as shown in the photo).

Decorate the finished product with elements cut from white openwork braid.

This napkin holder is suitable for napkins folded in half.

Butterfly shaped

From colored double-sided cardboard, cut out 2 butterfly silhouettes and a strip measuring 2 x 18 cm. Bend it as shown in the photo.

Glue the strip onto one of the butterflies using a heat gun.

And then apply hot glue to the edge of the strip and secure the second butterfly.

The result is such a narrow napkin holder.

It is better to place napkins rolled into tubes in it.

Metal option

Take the cardboard cylinder that always remains from the paper towel roll.

Cut it into rings 1 cm wide. You should get 8 pieces.

Leave four blanks in their original shape, and form stars from the rest. Insert the stars into the rings and secure them with PVA glue. Cut a piece of corrugated cardboard measuring 5 x 3 cm.

Glue 2 rings on it on both sides.

First paint the craft black, and then apply a little gold paint to the surface. Now the cardboard elements appear to be metal.

White napkins look very beautiful in such a stand.

Cut 6 squares measuring 10 x 10 cm from double-sided cardboard with a bright print.

Glue them into tubes, wrapping them around a cardboard cylinder and securing the corners with superglue.

Then glue all the tubes together in a circle and cut off the lower corners. Cut a circle with a diameter of 8 cm from cardboard of the same shade.

Glue the tubes onto it so that the sharp corners are on top. Decorate the craft with a satin ribbon and miniature flowers.

In this stand there is a place for each napkin.

DIY napkin stand made from paper sticks

Prepare paper sticks. They are easy to roll from the pages of an old magazine, wrapping them around a thin, long object. You will also need a piece of thick cardboard measuring 4.5 x 12 cm.

Cover the rectangle with white paper on all sides. Bend two paper sticks in half.

Glue them to the sides of the white piece using PVA glue. Also cut two strips measuring 11 cm, 9 cm, 6 cm and 4 cm.

Glue them one at a time in descending order of length onto the previously formed side walls.

Do the same manipulations with the second batch of paper strips.

Now all that remains is to paint the craft blue. Use acrylic pearlescent paint for this.

After drying, the napkin holder is ready for use.

As you can see, it will not be difficult to make original napkin stands from the most popular material for needlework - cardboard.

How to make napkin holders from improvised materials

If you like unusual and original things, then you can make napkin holders from pasta, tree branches, multi-colored pencils and even from plastic bottles (transparent or colored). Now let's talk about everything in order.

For this napkin holder you need to take pasta, which is called “wheels”.

Place a plastic bag on a flat surface and glue the pasta on it in three rows of 7 pieces. Just apply a drop of PVA glue to the side and attach the wheels to each other.

Then form 2 side walls. To do this, glue the pasta vertically, decreasing it by 1 piece in each row.

Extend the lower part of the napkin holder a little by adding 3 wheels.

The napkin holder is ready!

If you are confused by the appearance of the pasta, then you can paint it in any shade using a special paint in a spray can.

DIY napkin holder made from a transparent shampoo bottle

Wash the empty bottle, then wipe it dry.

Cut off the bottom and make side cuts.

Cut out the curly edges, a window on one of the edges and fringe on the sides.

Decorate the front of the craft with a dot pattern. To do this, use acrylic paints in golden and blue shades.

Use this beautiful thing for its intended purpose.

Napkin stand made of wooden sticks

Using a garden pruner, cut sticks 6-7 cm long from a dry branch of any tree.

Cut out a rectangle from thick cardboard and glue 7 blanks onto it using a glue gun.

After this, glue 15 sticks in a vertical position on one side of the bottom.

Do the same on the other side.

Decorate the craft with linen rope (stripes and bows), as well as pieces of twigs.

The original napkin holder is ready.

It conveniently holds large format napkins.

From a colored plastic bottle

Take a yellow plastic bottle, wash it and wipe it dry.

Cut the bottom part so that you get 2 symmetrical cockerels with beaks and scallops.

Using a black marker, draw feathers, eyes, and beaks on the outside and inside of the craft. Cover the scallops with red plasticine or self-adhesive film.

Fold the napkins several times and place them in a napkin holder.

A white bottle makes graceful swans, an orange one is suitable for making cats, and a brown one can become material for a napkin holder with bears.

Collect pencils of different shades up to 8-9 cm long, but not less than 4-5 cm. Sharpen them well.

Cut out a rectangular blank from thick cardboard and cover it on all sides with beautiful bright paper.

Decide on alternating pencil colors.

Glue them in a vertical position using a heat gun. First on one side, then on the other.

Decorate one wall of the napkin holder with the shortest pencil.

All that remains is to put napkins and use them, enjoying the appearance

A master class on sewing napkin holders from fabric and discs is dedicated to all creative women who love their home and create comfort with their golden hands. You will need bright fabric, five CDs, a ribbon five to six centimeters wide, a narrow strip of fabric in a contrasting color or it’s better to just buy bias tape and not have to worry about it, padding polyester, scissors, a needle, thread, a pencil or marker for fabric, a sewing machine.

On the wrong side of the fabric we trace the discs, and on one of the parts we also trace the inner hole.

We cut out disks 1-1.5 cm larger than what we drew. The same applies to the internal hole on one of the parts. It is necessary to draw a larger circle around it and cut the fabric at this distance with scissors.

In total you will need twelve such circles: two for each part of the napkin holder. The disks will be the basis of the parts. The lid will be soft, so the base will be discs cut from padding polyester. Calculate the number of disks yourself, based on the thickness of the padding polyester.

For the lid: several layers of padding polyester + two disks of fabric with a hole in the center, folded as shown in the photo.

For the walls and bottom: a disk of fabric with the wrong side up, a couple of layers of padding polyester on top, then a disk, again padding polyester, a disk of fabric with the wrong side down.

We sew the lid in the center, without sewing two centimeters, so that it is possible to turn the product outward.

We sew up the remaining parts as they were folded.

We attach bias tape to the edges of the half-pieces.

We sew the gathered braid to it from the inside out.

We assemble the parts by sewing them together with ordinary sewing threads.

Place a roll of napkins or multi-layer toilet paper inside and thread some of the paper through the hole in the lid. Ready! You have a very cozy house for a roll of napkins.

PS. For convenience, you can sew a button to the side and attach a loop to the lid. Then the lid will be securely fastened and will not open every time the napkin holder is used.

Today I will show you how easy and simple it is to make a napkin holder from materials that are probably found in every home. You don’t need any additional skills to make it, so you can use a child if you wish.
What do we need in our work?
- 2 discs
- scissors
- ruler
- pencil
- marker
- colored paper
- thick cardboard
- PVA glue
- glue Moment Crystal
- glossy varnish
- (I have ribbons and butterflies)

If some materials are missing, then I think, with some ingenuity, they can be replaced with something else.
Begin. The first thing we need to do is trim the disks. Fortunately, we use disks less and less, so I think that in every home there are a couple of old unnecessary disks. As you may have guessed, the discs will serve as the basis of our napkin holder, so carefully measure the height as you wish. We mark with a marker, preferably a permanent one, and draw under the ruler.

We take stronger and larger scissors. I took scissors from the kitchen set. Carefully trim.

We prepare small scraps of newspapers.

Using PVA glue, seal the holes in the disks on both sides. Apply several layers of newspaper, coating each layer with glue. Leave until completely dry. Tip: as the newspaper dries, it may ripple on the surface of the disc. If this happens, straighten the newspaper with your fingers while it is damp.

While the discs are drying, let's work on the bottom of the napkin holder. To do this, take cardboard, preferably thick, this will give our napkin holder stability. Unfortunately, I didn't have thick cardboard. Therefore, I cut three strips from the cardboard that I managed to find in the bins, dimensions 10x2 cm.

I glue them together with PVA glue.

Because If my cardboard has an air gap inside, it will be both unstable and soft. I decided to cover the resulting bottom of the napkin holder with scraps of newspaper and PVA glue. After drying, the bottom will become hard, like plastic. Leave until completely dry.

In the meantime, let's start decorating the napkin holder. I chose colored gift wrapping paper for this. We cut out 2 parts exactly the same size as the walls of the napkin holder, and 2 parts 5 mm larger on all sides, leaving them to be folded.

Using PVA glue, glue the sides of the napkin holder.

We decorate. At this stage, let your imagination run wild. Here you can use everything you have at hand: beads, beads, ribbons, lace, bows, in general, whatever your heart desires. I found some leftover decoupage napkins and cut out 4 butterflies, which, using PVA glue, took their place on the daisies.

When the bottom of the napkin holder is completely dry and hard, cover it with colored paper.

The moment of truth has come. Let's put all the details together. You can use a silicone gun for this. But somehow it didn’t work out for me, so my choice fell on the time-tested Moment Crystal.

We cover our napkin holder with 2 layers of varnish. I have acrylic gloss varnish. In principle, if desired, this stage can be skipped. Important: the varnish may streak slightly during application. Don't worry, after drying the streaks will disappear and you will have a smooth, glossy surface.
