Dress up boring white napkins with stylish buttons! Quick and easy DIY Gold Button Napkins – great gift idea! Great way to use antique buttons too! 

Dress up boring white napkins with stylish buttons! Easy DIY Gold Button Napkins - great gift idea! Great way to use antique buttons too!  

I love using white napkins at my table, even with my kids (they can be bleached!….the napkins, not the kids!) but white napkins can be a little boring on their own.

So I decided to dress up some white hotel napkins with some beautiful gold buttons to add some shine and style!

Supplies:

DIY button napkin

Buttons â€“ I used a variety of pretty oversized gold ones!

Thread

Sewing Needle

Napkins 

These embellished napkins are so easy and quick to make!

Instructions

Just sew one button to the corner of a napkin and you’re done! It only took me a few minutes to do up 6 of them!

 These oversized gold buttons are so pretty! I love them with my gold flower napkin rings!

These napkins would look gorgeous with vintage buttons or your favorite color!

I can’t wait to use them for outdoor dining on our deck…when the weather eventually warms up here!

These Button Napkins would make an excellent gift idea – Mother’s Day is just around the corner! Make up a set of 6 or 8 quickly and easily for a pretty Handmade Mother’s Day gift that Mom will love!

I’m so excited to be partying with some of my bloggy friends today as part of the Mother’s Day Blog Hop! Check out all the other fabulous DIY Mother’s Day inspiration here:

    Love your simple but elegant idea for the napkins. I have many vintage buttons, so I just might make a set for myself.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Where do you buy hotel dinner napkins? They could be used to cover pillows offering blank slate to dress up with stencils, ribbons, anything decorative. Love selection of buttons you got, so pretty. And your napkins rings, ooohh. Also loved the other napkin ring suggestions making with beads, wow. Loved it all.
