[left]Hola! It’s Stephanie again from Casa Watkins Living. Â Are you feeling the warmth of the fall season yet? Â I just love how the fall weather brings out the best warm colors and cozy feelings. Â It makes me want to gather around friends and family much more. Â I tend to have a lot more gatherings in the fall season compared to the summer. Â One of my favorite things to do is to decorate a beautiful tablescape.[/left]

Today, I’d like to share my DIY African Inspired PVC pipe napkin rings perfect for fall. Â I came across this gorgeous ribbon at the craft store months ago. Â Doesn’t it remind you of a beautiful African wax print? Â I was cleaning up my ribbon box when I inspired to create a DIY napkin ring using this ribbon and PVC pipes.
I had left over PVC pipe screw fittings from another project and they were the perfect shape for this project. The hexagon portion of the screw fitting added a unique feature to these DIY napkin rings. Coupled with the amazing bold and graphic ribbon, these DIY African inspired napkin rings exude a global style that is so easy to recreate.
WHAT YOU NEED
- PVC pipe screw fittings
- Your choice of ribbon
- Copper spray paint
- Permanent adhesive
The first thing you’ll want to do is to clean each of the screw fittings. Â You’ll be amazed how dusty and dirty these pvc pipe materials get in the hardware store. Â Spray each fitting with at least 2 coats of copper spray paint. Â Make sure to spray the inside of the ring as well! Copper is a great metallic to use in the fall. Â Design tip: the warm copper color looks beautiful against white napkins.
Once your pvc screw fittings are dry, use your permanent adhesive to apply your ribbon. Â I placed them on the screw portion of each fitting, but you can easily create a more graphic napkin ring by applying your ribbon to the opposite side. Â How beautiful does that ribbon look on the copper ring?!
Use your napkin rings for your tablescape this fall or group a few to make a great hostess gift! I wouldn’t mind one bit receiving a set of these DIY African Inspired napkin rings.  I loved this ribbon so much that I also made a DIY planter with it too!  You can see that post here.
I hope you are feeling inspired this fall to create your own projects. Â For more DIY fall projects, check out my fall chinoiserie themed entryway (here) or global boho fall tablescape (here)!

These are so pretty Steph! The copper and ribbon is a perfect pair.
Thanks so much Kathy! You’ve really influenced me to love copper! Hahaha
I love your napkin rings, that ribbon is gorgeous. I checked out your planter also. I was thinking that it would be cute (if you had enough ribbon) to make smaller planters, with small plants, herbs, etc. for each guest. What a hostess with the mostess you’d be!
Thank you Josephine! What a great idea!! If only I could keep herbs alive. They are my downfall. I am getting so much better with house plants though. 🙂
