DIY Napkin Wrap
There are two reasons that I randomly decided to create this DIY project. The first, is that after seeing so many of you comment on the one crafted for the Aaron Delesie rehearsal dinner, I thought that it would be fun to just give you something that you could do on your own!
The second reason is that I’ve been working so hard at writing, at making the site a beautiful, completely clean and easy place to be, that I haven’t had a chance to get my hands a little dirty lately doing things that I love. So, this filled the gap if even for just a couple of hours!

Materials
8.5 x 11″ 80lb white card stock (like this from Paper-Source)
Color Printer
Paper Cutter
Double Sided Tape
Napkins
Instructions
1. Download the Eat, Drink and Be Married Napkin Wrap. Print using the highest settings on your color printer to ensure that the delicate text is crisp and clear. There are 2 wraps per sheet.
2. Cut each wrap on the black dotted line, making sure to cut off all of the black ink so that the edge of the wrap remains white.
3. Create a mock fold around your napkin to see where you should create the creases on each side of the wrap. After you are certain that the wrap will fit snuggly around the napkin, either fold the wraps by hand or using a bone folder.
4. Secure the wrap around the napkin using double sided tape. Please note, there is only a small amount of room to tape the wrap, so make sure that you fold the napkin small enough to allow a bit of extra room to tape the back of the wrap together.
what lovely colors they used!
so cute!
If I have *any* money left over after all I'm spending on paper, I am so using it on this project.
How fun! Thanks for sharing.
so cute! thank you!
How fun! Love the orange napkins...do you mind sharing where you got those?!?! Thanks again!
Great idea. Looks easy enough however I'm sure it's a killer on ink!
If I were more technologically inclined, I'd throw a monogram/logo on there.
I love it! I just wish I could change the color.
Would also love to know where the napkins are from if you don't mind!
Got them at Bed, Bath and Beyond...LOVE them. They are a rich, golden yellow. Super cute.

Meghan...what color would you like to see?
[...] Even better, Abbyhas created a fun freebie based on these napkin wraps that captures the essence of this lovely party. Download here. [...]
Love the color and the sentiment... already have my plan for napkins (paper pom pom napkin rings), but I might printout and glue to plain white coasters! I've been searching for a good coaster/ cocktail napkin idea.
I love them!! Although the colour doesnt really match my colour pallete, I took the idea and am getting my designer (a graphic designer/friend who is doing my invites and all stationary) to make me some similar with my theme on it...
Love it!

Is there any way to change the color?
i would love to use it at my wedding next month, but would need it in a light lavender. is it possible to change the color on photoshop?
I just downloaded GIMP, which is a freeware program that is supposedly exactly like photoshop. I was able to change the colors (mine will be plum and green for my sept 2010 wedding). I plan to use the 'eat, drink and be married' as a tag on the favors (sachets of mulling spices for our wine-themed wedding!). Thanks so much!!!

Hi, do you have this in Chartreuse? I am hopeless with Photoshop and I am in love with the idea! Thanks!!
I love these! Do they print for you in more of a teal color - mine looks green.
Nice, love them!
This is really awesome.
Beautifully simple but so so effective - thanks for all the great ideas
