With the holidays approaching add a little crafty DIY to your dinner parties. Here is a fun creative craft idea the kids can help with, making the table setting much more festive, with these paper tube painted napkin holders!
Paper towel tubes
Add a bit of silver paint to your plate. Using your foam paint brush, paint the whole outside of your paper towel tube. Let this dry completely.
Once the tube is dry, cut down the middle of the tube vertically. Then cut out small 1-2 inch sections of your tube, to create the holders. You can make these as long or short as you would like. 6 holders can be made out of one paper tube.
Once the paint is dry, add them around your napkins as you set the dining table. Try folding the napkins in an accordion style fold to make them fan out. If you have smaller and thinner napkins, you might need to add some tape to the back of the napkin holders to make them tighter.

With each small painted tube, add a holiday puffy paint design to the front. You can make a tree, a candy cane or a Star of David for a Hanukkah party. You can add two or three different colors to each design. Let the puffy paint dry completely.
