  • I love all the napkin ring ideas and thank you for sharing them. I try to use different napkin ring presentations for my dinner parties and new ideas are always so helpful. Here’s another idea for you that I like to use during the summer. Tie a bit of raffia around your napkin and through a hole in a sea shell. Sometimes I have to gently drill a small hole in the shell but you can find shells with the holes already there, too.
