Cut a slit the length of the paper towel roll.<br /><br /><b>2.</b> Measure off one inch increments.<br /><br /><b>3.</b> Cut the one inch pieces.<br /><br /><b>4</b>. Cut a strip of burlap 2 1/2 inches wide by 6 inches long.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbmzCEPt1H1bsMDcZfVACGWpCT6IVFDburhG1_Y3oRkQScSEG03DPsXfmL3E_4j0NUzDagjTq1tQqqSuqrdGcypSjnKwHl1ze297FUvkflbtTDnEF9tYoZpgS3moAncYvZnpxn7I7VL7BB/s1600-h/Tutorial%2525202%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Tutorial 2" border="0" height="607" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdkWNwQzwfAbtage6RZ7xV9xQL4WceL42klPWlEG_EZKJHar8EaO1v-hYrvCnLXlWA9MAJ23os8bC_qPd2gxoFZ_C-Tk5Xz4XXLmnlSgLxfi_5OPobjYSiLJ16DkOBfySqVmL2ob4LcY_V/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Tutorial 2" width="607" /></a> <br /><b>5.</b> Fold in one end of the strip approximately 1/2 inch and press.<br /><br /><b>6</b>. Fold the two long sides in so that they overlap to create a strip that is now one inch wide and press. Slip in one of the cardboard strips, making sure that the end of the cardboard tucks under the folded portion at the end of the burlap strip. The other end will remain unfinished. (Don’t worry…it won’t show!)<br /><br /><b>7. </b>Cover the interior portion of the burlap strip with a generous amount of Mod Podge. Using a hair dryer, dry the Mod Podge a bit, then press and smooth the ends together with your fingers. Let it dry completely, preferably overnight.<br /><br /><b>8.</b> In the meantime, you can create the “ears.” Start by cutting a piece of burlap that will be just large enough for cutting your ears. If you are making multiple napkin rings, you will, of course, cut more ears. Then cut another piece of burlap and a piece of Heat n Bond the same size as the first piece of burlap. Follow the directions on the package and fuse the two pieces of burlap together.  <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5vlxBCb4_MDrpit63_xE2quj3ZhudtNrWufk9ipxd_ctSF3HnR3MbOt6Bi9CO5tgr6CfEruWDdZn7lXVflxe1rAEOpH0BTJfpzzqZiE__LrWLlFkhzf4Z2ytc9zbe6WFWR-6y46fYO-f8/s1600-h/Tutorial%2525203%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Tutorial 3" border="0" height="607" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFiUKyB_hFQzTm0eQfaXQeh76F76BZyRFANDAcP2b_kqzg13SHL_VPOTqSTr3bJH7a9emF22qiKQmD9lsSpAQkXBJ6vZFSm8-NHW_hVia9gMG9JaViE5ccGfX205xhk3m7lJCI-4QYWVkq/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Tutorial 3" width="607" /></a> <b>9. </b>Using the bunny ear pattern above, cut as many ears as you will need…two per napkin ring, of course. :-)<br /><br /><b>10. </b>The burlap is now thicker and will hold its shape and resist raveling.<br /><br /><b>11.</b> Add a small bead of hot glue and pinch the bottom portion of the ear together, holding it in place with a clip while it cools. (I used a clip from a coat hanger.) Be careful not to touch the hot glue so you don’t get burned! <i>Ouch!</i><br /><br /><b>12</b>. Run a small strip of hot glue along the top side of the unfinished end of the napkin ring end. Place the finished end over it and press down, holding in place with a clip until it cools. (<b>Hint:</b> I use a bamboo skewer when I need to press on any surface where I am using hot glue so that I don’t touch it and get burned.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kIVj9f87EH_zY4m5WzkyM3dEapFhwp1pBeS-F2H7a8xCdAipq9clsSCN-9t6BWpfxRoCuGXSgj72AG128SIJ31P3wjKrAN0j-ThcztIvyzgRw8_h2AjcsS41LdPAdlO-wT4-ihVLWB6-/s1600-h/Tutorial%2525204%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Tutorial 4" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYnaheufAW9_a514EbyEhB2ew_v_Fa1MndYskFvSUC4JGn7rnlOYm5rlAuola1SwUvLjJXwHMljYpXwQkKfeQf_gU2EwXkNCPr3JAqYDBCUO-8KtLtu-U8smzSUES77qZASlEmKLJxUFQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Tutorial 4" width="644" /></a>Now you are ready to place the ears on the napkin ring.
