How to turn 2 napkins into 1 FABULOUS apron.

This apron was inspired by Mary Ray’s tutorial over at craftstylish. I’m afraid Mary Ray lost me around step 3 so I decided to wing it. (The instructions might look lengthy, but the project is really simple and works up in no time at all!)

What you need:

2 large fabric napkins (I found mine on sale for 2 bucks a piece.)

several yards of grosgrain ribbon (I used 7/8" wide ribbon, which cost $1.80.)

two pairs of D-rings, optional ($1.80)
