Dreidel Buckle Napkin Ring

This Dreidel Buckle  Napkin Ring is a sweet spin to add to your Chanukah Tablescape.

Chanukah is all about tradition, and we love finding ways to bring those elements together in our tablescapes. This year, we turned a simple dreidel-shaped cookie into a festive and functional detail—a Dreidel Buckle Napkin Ring!

By threading a wide velvet ribbon through the cookie, we created a unique napkin ring that added a cute, edible element to the table settings. 

To tie the earthy tones of the décor into the table settings for this Chanukah Tablescape with a Spin, we used an un-iced cookie. You can ice the cookies if you prefer.

Our Penny Napkin Rings is another fun Chanukah napkin ring idea.

You will need:

• • sugar cookie recipe

• • 1½-inch (3.8-cm) ribbon

• • 4-inch (10-cm) dreidel cookie cutter

• • 1 x 1½-inch (2.5×3.8-cm) rectangle cookie cutter

Directions:

1. 1. Roll out the cookie dough on a piece of parchment paper.
   2. Using your cookie cutter, cut out dreidels. Remove the extra dough.
   3. Use the small rectangle cookie cutter or a knife to cut out a rectangle in the center of each cookie.
   4. Remove the rectangle from the center of the cookies.
   5. Cut 3–4 thin strips of dough the length of the rectangle.
   6. Stick a strip in the center of each cookie. The cookie should resemble a buckle.
   7. Bake the cookies. Allow to cool.
   8. Thread the ribbon through the dreidel buckle and tie the ribbon around a napkin.
