Step 2: Fold 1/4 of an inch around all edges and sew a straight stitch to prevent fraying.

Step 3: Thread your hand sewing needle and insert your first bead at the length-width intersection of your machine sewn stitch. You can see where I started on the left side of the burlap in the image below.

Step 4: Place and stitch down once side a random pattern of different size and color beads in groupings that are pleasing to you. Stop adding beads about an 1.5 inch before you reach the end of your burlap.

Step 5: Repeat on the other side.

Step 6: Fold top end over bottom end and hand stitch together. If you prefer, you can use some fabric glue to bind the ends together instead.

Step 7: Add some beads to your folded over area to complete and finish the look

And there you have it…your first napkin ring done!

#2 Braided Burlap Napkin Ring

Step 7: Repeat process for two more burlap & embroidery floss pieces. Machine sew all three piece together at the top with a straight stitch.
