Tips
Another great use for these napkin rings! Store wrapping paper or decorative paper rolled up with the colored side on the inside. This will prevent it from fading. Make napkin rings for each roll using a strip of paper from that roll. Use them to keep the rolls from unrolling. The same paper inside the ring will tell you which one it is.
