Serviette rings

I made these for my Mud demonstration. The demonstration was on my birthday and I served mud-pies to the members.

I find it easier to match the rings to the serviettes than to spend hours making the rings and then not be able to find exactly the right serviettes.When feeding a crowd paper serviettes are the most convenient.I also tucked a fork into each serviette for the audience to eat their mud pie with while I demonstrate.

Cut a paper tube into strips. Glue torn pieces of coloured tissue paper to a paper towel tube. Wrap copper wire several times around the tube. Twist the wire to tie and curl with the back of a knife as you would ribbon. (see my Tutorial by following the link below)
