I think a nice napkin holder could be made of metal. Perhaps with a sculpted design. This seems much trendier than the old maple wooden or plain plastic napkin holders. A metal sculpture would add great creativity and design.

If you are having a dinner with 12 places, I would be inclined to say each place should have its own napkin with ring. This saves from people having to lean over the food or plates to get or pass a napkin.

Your local craft store will be a great place to start for this project. You can buy plain napkin rings or other napkin holders there or at your local discount store. Then select the decor you want to use. Most craft stores have a wide variety of inexpensive small decorative items like pinecones, acorns, plastic snowflakes, and small holiday ornaments in either the floral section or their holiday section. Choose the items you like, then allow your children to decide how to put them on the napkin holder. You can then attach them with a hot glue gun. If you like, you can also use a spray glue to cover the ring and then have your children sprinkle it with glitter. Don't forget to be creative!
