In honor of St. Patrick's Day here is a set of napkin rings you can use at home or take along as a hostess gift if you are invited out for dinner.
These work well for other holidays, too: use these green napkin rings with yellow, pink, or lavender to dress your Easter table or red for your Christmas table.
These are so quick to make that you can easily knock out a set of four of them in just a couple of hours.
May you have the Luck of the Irish today!
