If you’re looking for non-traditional colors for your fall table, then take a look at my DIY felt acorn napkin rings. I love mixing colors for fall, and when you think about it anything goes these days. In fact if you’re like me, you may have a hard time narrowing down the color choices.

This week we are celebrating the “There’s No Place Like Home” Autumn Blog Hop with crafts. For last weeks blog hop post click on, Fall Decorating Ideas For A Small Porch.
Before we jump into the craft, I want to thank our host Rachelle of My Hubbard Home for including me. The best part of the bog hop is getting to work with all of these creative ladies. If you’re visiting from my friend Carol over at Bluesky At Home welcome. Love her cute Halloween place cards.
Acorns are inspiring me in all kinds of ways this fall. Did you see the wood ones on my Fall Tiered Tray and the acorn watercolor on my Shop page? Yes, I’m completely smitten with acorns and now adding them to napkin rings.
DIY Felt Acorn Napkin Rings
Here’s a list of supplies you’ll need for this project.
- wool felt pompoms
- acorn caps
- felt for leaves
- waxed cotton or jute string
- glue gun and glue sticks
- scissors
- napkin rings – woven cane, wood, plastic, or fabric covered
First step is glueing the acorn caps on the felt pompoms using a glue gun.
Next cut out simple leaf shapes from felt in the colors you like best.
Add a dot of hot glue in the center of each leaf and pinch the sides together.
Once the glue is dry on the leaves, center a 10″ string with a dot of hot glue in between the leaves. Glue the felt acorn in place then tie it on the napkin ring.
I want to be able to use these napkin rings throughout the year, so I’m just tying the felt acorn decoration on each ring.
If you prefer, you can hot glue the felt leaves and acorn directly on a napkin ring.
Shop The Look
Now get creative picking out fun napkin colors that will show off those cute napkin rings. You can also make a bunch of felt acorns to display in a bowl or make a colorful garland.
Be sure to follow Thistle Key Lane on Pinterest, where the boards are up to date with seasonal inspiration that you can use right now!

I love this idea, Michelle! I love a craft that is easy yet looks fabulous. I hope that a set of these will grace your Thanksgiving table this November. I’ll be sharing your project on my FB page this afternooon.
Thank you Paula, yes I’m thinking about using these napkin rings for Thanksgiving for a lighthearted casual table. Thanks so much for sharing sweet friend!
These little felted acorns are so adorable and perfect to dress up your fall napkin rings! I have been wanting to try to flet my own acorns and have been warned how long it takes to felt those little balls…you have the perfect answer! Buy the felted balls and use those with found acorn caps! I will be taking on this cute project! Pinned! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Chloe! I thought about making my own felted balls too, but I have a pretty good stash that I use for garlands. Thanks so much for pinning too!
These are too adorable Michelle! Your acorns are so cute, love the colors! I love the way you did the leaves too, pinching them for a more 3 D look. Thank you for the great tutorial!
Jenna
Thanks Jenna, I decided to use brighter colors for fall and Thanksgiving gatherings to lighten the mood. We all need more of that this year!
These are just precious, Michelle! The colors are so soft yet fun, too. I love how you added the real caps on your felt acorns. I want to try something like this for Thanksgiving! Pinned!
Thank you so much Crissy. I can wait to use these on a fall tablescape. They would look so cute with your pumpkin flower arrangement!
Michelle, these little acorns are so sweet. I love the colors and how easy they are to assemble. They add a great accent to the place setting. Love those napkins too.
Thank you Carol, I’m so happy with how they turned out especially using non-traditional colors!
Oh, so cute!
I just pulled out of my fall storage boxes a bag of acorns that was at the bottom.
I can see them with the little wool felt balls on a Thanksgiving table, or as you said in a bowl.
No matter where you use these cuties, they will add the perfect autumn touch!
Thanks for including this craft in the blog hop 🙂
Hugs,
RR
Thank you Rachelle for inviting me to be in the blog hop. I’m having a great time visiting all the blogs and pinning these fun crafts!
What a creative idea! I love the fact that you just tied them on so you can use the napkin rings all year long too! The acorns are so adorable! I love your blue and white napkins too!
Karin
Thanks Karin, I’m actually thinking about buying some plain wood napkin rings and glueing the felt acorns on. I have a feeling I’ll have request to use these again next year. 🙂
Your napkin rings are so adorable. Love how you made the acorns. Happy Fall Michelle!
Thank you so much Terrie!
Michelle your creativity never ceases to amaze me! And I love how you tied the acorns on so you could reuse your napkin rings – just brilliant! These are so cute for fall. Hope you have a wonderful week – see you next time!
Thank you Barbara! These were so much fun to make and I still want to make more. 🙂
These little acorn napkin rings are adorable! I love the colors you chose! Pinned!
Thank you Lynne! The napkins really inspired the colors and I like the idea of non-traditional fall colors to change things up.
These are some of the cutest napkin rings I have ever seen! And I agree, acorns for fall decor… you just can’t go wrong! Thanks for sharing, and I’m pinning to several boards!
Thank you sweet friend! I’m really hooked on these felt acorns, but I’ll have to forage for more acorn caps to make more. 🙂
Michelle, I adore these!! The colors you chose are terrific too. Your Society6 art prints are beautiful too!
I had a lot of fun making these and still collecting acorn caps for more! Thanks for taking a look at my art Rita!
These napkin rings are ADORABLE, Michelle! I love how you tied them on so the napkin rings can be used year long for these and other seasonal embellishments. Very clever!
Thank you so much Marie!
These are just the cutest! I pinned and shared so I can remember to make them! Thanks for sharing at Charming Homes & Gardens!
Thank you so much Kristin!
These are so cute. I’ll definitely be trying this project. Look for your feature on Wednesday’s Charming Home & Garden Link Party
Thank you, that is so sweet Rachel! Hugs!!
These are just the cutest Michelle! Pinned! I am so happy that you are being featured this week at Charming Homes and Gardens.
Thank you Kim. So excited to be featured!
So adorable! I’m a menace with a glue gun but I might give these a try!
Thanks Sandra, I hope you will!
This is such a sweet craft. The family of squirrels in my backyard leave tons of acorn caps on the lawn this time of year & now I have your tutorial as inspiration to put them to use!
Our squirrels are busy with the last of our pecans, but I’m sure they are giving our neighbors oak tree plenty of attention too. Thanks so much for stopping by!
