Choose a ring that slips over a napkin or a button you tie around it. These makers show finished pieces and share the outlines for your own set.
Hand Turkey Napkin Ringsby Richard RobertoA hand-shaped turkey makes a Thanksgiving napkin ring that children can decorate. Richard cut his set from birch plywood and used markers for the feathers. The shared layout includes the turkey shapes, their openings and a separate table sign. Leave the wood plain or add color after carving.
Walnut Bunny Napkin Ringsby Jen WoodhouseA bunny silhouette turns a walnut ring into a small spring-table decoration. Jen’s shared design contains the bunny outlines and their round openings. Keep enough wood around the opening to support the ears and body, and size the opening for the napkins you use.
Autumn Leaf Napkin Ringsby MakeryOak and birch leaf shapes give a plain napkin a seasonal detail. Makery designed these for half-inch hardwood. The shared walnut layout includes both leaf outlines and their openings; match the stock thickness to the design rather than scaling the whole leaf just to fit a different napkin.
Christmas Napkin Buttonsby chrisSmall stocking, tree and gingerbread shapes fasten around napkins like buttons. Chris’s plywood design has two layouts of the shaped buttons and their small holes. The photo shows cord threaded through the holes, so you will need cord or ribbon as well as the carved pieces.

Tim Kipp Sr made Jen’s bunny rings from leftover oak plywood, then planned to let his grandchildren paint some and stain the extras. You do not have to use walnut to try the outline. A plywood version can become a decorating project, while the same shape in hardwood can keep its visible grain. The material and finish choice is separate from the napkin-ring shape.
