Napkins made from patchwork fabric and a napkin ring decorated with dried flowers

1. Cut a square from patchwork fabric in your chosen size, e.g.. 45 x 45 cm. Fold the fabric 1 cm over twice. Press the fold with an iron leaving markings of the corner and the seam.

2. Cut the tip of the corner all the way down to the first ironed mark.

3. Fold the corner to the second ironed mark.

4. Fold one side over twice at the two marks (i.e. once at each mark) and insert pins.

5. Fold the other side over once at each mark so that the two sides meet in the corner as shown in the photo. Insert pins all the way round.

6. Sew the edges on the sewing machine.

7. Glue a small scrunched up tuft of sisal onto a wooden manilla tag. Glue a dried flower on top using a glue gun.

8. Write a name with a marker on the manilla tag and tie it onto the wooden napkin ring with a piece of natural twine. Attach the napkin ring around the fabric napkin.
