After downloading the SVG file, unzip your file and upload it into Design Space. After loading the SVG, you’ll notice that each letter of each word is a separate element. When you have decided which words you want to use for your Rae Dunn napkin rings, use your mouse to select all the letters of the word, then group them together with the group function in the upper right corner. Next, weld the letters together so they stay as a group when you’re ready to cut them.
After all the words are welded together, you can resize your words to fit on your napkin rings. As you’re resizing, make sure to measure the width and height of your napkin rings. If you’re using the same napkin rings I used, you should make each of your words .6 inches tall.
When all your words are the correct size, you can start cutting. Just hit the Make It button at the top and send your Rae Dunn Christmas words to your Cricut to cut.
Use your Cricut weeding tool to remove all the extra vinyl surrounding your Rae Dunn words. Then place a piece of transfer tape on top to transfer the words from the vinyl backing to the napkin rings.
Rae Dunn Inspired Napkin Rings
Now that you have your vinyl words ready to go, you can start getting your wood napkin rings ready. So, grab a paintbrush and some chalk paint, and let’s turn those plain wood napkin rings into cute Rae Dunn napkin rings.
Start by giving your napkin rings a base coat of white chalk paint. Use as many coats as you need to fully cover the plain wood.
Allow all the paint to dry completely, then add your vinyl words to the front of each napkin ring. Place the words on the front of each ring. Then use a credit card or other flat object to transfer the vinyl letters to the front. Pay special attention to the top and bottom of the words, pressing the vinyl into the curves of the napkin ring so they stick well.
After adding all the words to your ornaments, place a napkin inside the ring and use them to decorate your Christmas place settings! These cute napkin rings would look amazing with the rest of your holiday tablescape.
