I used basic cotton fleece in red and white and black ribbon for this project. The fleece and ribbon were purchased at JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores but you could head to Amazon Fabrics or onlineabricstore.net to get what you need for Santa napkin holders.

What you will Need: How to Make Santa Napkin Holders

• White Fleece
• Red Fleece
• 7″ of 3/4″ black ribbon
• 2″ Velcro
• Small Vest Buckle
• Sewing machine
• Standard Sewing Supplies

Step 1: Cut your Fabrics

From the white fleece cut a rectangle that measures 3 5/8″ x 7″ and from the red fleece cut a rectangle that measures 2″ x 7″.

Step 2: Add the Buckle

Thread the ribbon through the buckle. Place the ribbon with the buckle in the center of the right side of the red fleece piece and stitch the ends to secure.

Step 3: Add the White Fleece Piece

Place the white piece onto the red piece right sides together matching the top and side raw edges. Stitch along the long raw edge using a 1/4″ seam allowance.

Step 4: Stitch the Velcro

Place one half of the Velcro piece on the right side of the white short end 1/4″ from the edge and stitch.

Step 5: Stitch the Long Edge

Fold the long raw edges right sides together. Stitch using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Adjust the red fleece so that it is in the center of the white fleece. Stitch along the short end with the Velcro using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Turn right sides out.

Step 6: Finish the Other Short End

Turn under the raw edges by 1/4″ and pin. Hand stitch the short end using ladder stitch.

Step 7: Add the Remaining Velcro

Stitch the other half of the Velcro to the right side of the opposite short end of the first piece of Velcro. Add your napkins and secure. How fun is this. Make as many as you need. They come together in no time.
