While my husband and I were sitting at the dining table eating our dinner, I asked him to get me a napkin. He put his fork down, got up from his chair, went to the pantry and grabbed me a napkin. That’s when he suggested that we get a napkin holder. Why not have a nice stack of napkins already at the table so that he wouldn’t have to be interrupted from his meal to get napkins?!

It wasn’t an unrealistic request so I decided that instead of going out to buy one, I was going to make one! Surely it would be a simple project–I just had to find the perfect size box, right? But alas I didn’t have one so I just did the following…literally, I just made it about 15 minutes before posting this blog!

1) Grabbed some supplies: Empty cereal box, scissors, glue, tape and design or wrapping paper

2) Cut out the top portion of the box and resized it to fit the size of a standard paper napkin (I pretty much just had to adjust one side of it!).

3) Taped the corners to keep it in place.

4) “Prettied up” the holder by wrapping it with design paper (or wrapping paper)

From start to finish, this project took me 10 minutes! Now, no more interruptions during meal time
