Wheat Sheaf Centerpiece and Napkin Ring

This wonderful craft will make any holiday table beautiful.

Wheat Sheaf Centerpiece
Tools and Materials
Six bunches of wheat
Large rubber band
Scissors
Beautiful wide ribbon, such as a length of double-sided satin

Wheat Sheaf Centerpiece How-To
1. Spread wheat on a flat surface. Pick up a few stalks and hold them in the crux of your hand, just below the grain pods.

2. Add stalks, one at a time and on an angle, to the bunch in your hand, lining up the tips. Move your hand down the bunch as it widens.

3. When all the wheat has been used or you can't hold any more, secure bunch in the middle with a rubber band.

4. Trim the ends of the stalks with scissors so they lie even.

5. Tie ribbon around the waist of the sheaf.

Napkin Ring
Tie half a double knot with a length of ribbon around a rolled napkin. Lay three pieces of wheat on the knot, and finish the double knot. Trim ends of ribbon on an angle. Cut ends of wheat to desired length.

Resources
All materials for this money-saving idea are available at crafts stores.
