We’ve been celebrating a lot of birthdays the past two months and consequently adding homemade beauty to our table setting.

I had the older children collect some birchbark on a recent family hike and then we simply glued the pieces onto halved toilet paper rolls. The effect is a lovely rustic looking napkin ring. Their simple beauty and charm also inspires the children to set the table- a win for everyone I think!

They would be a lovely addition to a Thanksgiving or Harvest Table.
