Happy Pink Saturday!! I made these cute flower napkin holders and decided to include them in this post. They brighten up the table and are very easy to make. You can coordinate the flower and colors you use with your tablecoth, which reminds me, I'm also going to blog about my favorite webstore for table linens.

Here are the supplies you need: Felt, decorative scissors, or pinking shears, silk flowers, hot glue gun, hair rubberbands, and napkin rings. I bought my rings at Target but you can make your own napkin rings by following a tutorial by Laura at Along For The Ride. Laura came up with a really fun and easy idea to make napkin rings, recycling your paper rolls, that will cost pennies to make.

First, pull off the silk flower and cut the tip off as much as you can cut off.

Next, cut a circle off of the felt, squeeze a dot of hot glue and place flower on top.

Now do the same to the other side of the felt

Take the rubberband in a matching color and extend it by placing it between the two flowers, there's no need to glue down the rubberband, the flowers will hold it in place.

Now, extend the rubberband to go over the ring

And, that's it! pretty easy and it looks beautiful!

Today I also wanted to show you April Cornell's beautiful table linens. I came accross these linens through Bill at Affordable Accoutrements where you'll find plenty of inspiration for setting your own table in special occasions.

Are these table settings not the most beautiful!!! thank goodness I'm in the blogging because I may not have heard of April Cornell otherwise. And can I just say, she is the nicest person. I have not met her in person only throgh email but you'll sure receive excellent customer service. I've linked up the pictures above in case you want to go and see for yourself. You can find her Spring Collection Here. Bill is showing off the Strawberry Linen Collection, if you visit his blog, you will be amazed at what he did, you can see that here.
