These aromatic herb napkin rings are ideal for a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

To make ours, we used evergreen herbs like bay and rosemary, as well as colourful crab apples. You could make them even more Christmassy by swapping out some or all of these plants for things like holly, English ivy and mistletoe.
