its purposes of holding serviettes in a restaurant or hotel. I made the serviette holder while I was at
home where I went to the market and collected the materials an those were, the bead, thread ,tape
measure. I can say it did not give me any hard time or challenge on making. It better it was A bit
easy making it I took only two days to complete it.

The limitations of the serviette holder is to holder serviettes in a restaurant or hotel the one I made
it does not hold a opt of serviette since it is a bit smaller. hence I did not get the enough material to
make a bigger one.
