    No-Sew Ribbon Heart Cocktail Napkins

    Crafting, Holiday & Seasonal Crafts, Valentine's Day Crafts, Valentine's Day Decor

    After our last snow day, I treated myself to a little window shopping. I like to call it retail therapy. I wasn’t looking to buy anything in particular; I was more in search of inspiration.

    No-Sew Anthropologie Inspired Cocktail Napkins

    I found it at Anthropologie. In fact, I was feeling so inspired that I made these no-sew ribbon embellished cocktail napkins after seeing something similar in the store.

    Six No-Sew Valentine's Day Craft Projects

    I’m sharing how I made these cute-as-the-dickens cocktail napkins for this month’s No-Sew Decorating showcase with my blogging friends, Suzy from Worthing Court, Ann from On Sutton Place, Yvonne from StoneGable, Debbie from Confessions of a Plate Addict and Barb from The Everyday Home.

    6 No-Sew Valentine's Day Crafts

    These ladies always come up with the cutest, most creative no-sew projects. I love being part of this no-sew showcase with them every month.

    Anthropologie Ribbon Heart Dish Towel

    Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores, and not just because I covet just about everything I see in there. I love the unique decor you’ll find at every store, the creativity the visual merchandising teams use in setting up displays, and the mood they set with plants, lighting, scent and music. I could spend hours in Anthropologie — and I have! — soaking up the inspiration and recharging my creative juices.

    I thought this Ribbon Heart Dishtowel was so cute, and I knew it would be the perfect no-sew project for Valentine’s Day.

    No-Sew Anthropologie Inspired Cocktail Napkins

    Instead of making dishtowels, I handcrafted a set of four cocktail napkins using plain ones I bought for just a few dollars. I think these would make great teacher or hostess gifts, in a set of two or four. (But these babies are going on my bar cart!)

    No-Sew Anthropologie Inspired Cocktail Napkins

    I raided my scrap ribbon and trim stash to make these.

    The hardest part was forming the heart shape, until I figured out a little trick.

    1. Cut a heart template out of a sticky printable shipping label or a piece of vinyl.
    2. Lay strips of ribbon and trim face down on the sticky side, overhanging the template.
    3. Flip the heart over and cut away the excess ribbon.
    4. Lay the template on your napkin and remove the sticker.
    5. Adhere the ribbon to the napkins using fabric glue or double-stick fabric tape or fusible webbing. Easy!

    (If you don’t have any sticky shipping labels, you can make a heart template out of paper and attach the strips of ribbon to it with double-stick tape to get the right shape.)

    No-Sew Anthropologie Inspired Cocktail Napkins

    I decided to finish my heart napkins with some cute pompom trim. It was just the finishing touch they needed.

    I also made a coordinating design to go with each heart napking.

    This one features strips of ribbon and trim glued in strips on the napkin.

    The pink heart napkin’s pair is decorated with a edge band of ruffled pink ribbon and flower blossoms, which I attached with fabric glue.

    I added an iron-on rhinestone in the center of each flower.

    I’m in love with this set of sweet handmade cocktail napkins.

    I’m thinking I may have to make some coordinating tea towels next!

    Now, you must hop over to see my friends’ no-sew projects for Valentine’s Day.

      Super cute and a great way to use up small ribbon scraps. Would love to feature this next week, but can’t find if you have a link party page or party links anywhere. If you do or can add it, please let me know so I can feature you! Thanks for sharing this at the Craftastic Monday Link Party at Sew Can Do.

        Thanks so much! I definitely love to get inspiration at Anthropologie, but I don’t buy much there, unless it’s on sale. Glad you liked my knockoff.
