Happy Tuesday! Today is the Creative Craft Hop – which is one of my favorite days of every month. I’ve got the sweetest little DIY Easter flatware holder to share with you. They are perfect for my Children’s table. Colorful, fun and most importantly they contain all the pointy items!
Before I get started I’d like to thank Sara from Birdz of a Feather for hosting our craft hop this month. Someone has to corral all of us and she does a fantastic job!
If you are coming here from Jenna’s I’m so happy to have you here! I love her 3D Flowers!
Now let’s get started.
Supplies
Just in case you want to make some too – here is what you will need.
Felt – color of your choice
Scrap pieces of ribbon
Hot Glue and glue gun
Fabric Glue
Scissors
Sewing machine – optional
Step 1
I had another holder that I used to decide on the size of this one, it was 4″ x 7″.
Fold your felt in half and mark the size.
Mark with a pencil or pen.
Step 2
Cut out your holder.
TIP: once you have marked your material pin both sides together before cutting for an even cut.
Step 3
Sew your holder together as close to the edge as possible.
Now if you don’t have a sewing machine – glue it together!
Step 4
Using your scrap ribbon, cut different sized pieces the width of your holder.
Layer them into fun combinations and glue them together using fabric glue.
Don’t have fabric glue? Use hot glue!
Step 5
Hot glue your ribbon to your holder.
You could use the fabric glue, my ADD kicked in big time so I decided I wanted the instant gratification that the hot glue provided.
Glue on your fabric bunny.
At this time you could embellish the bunny if you wished.
I added in a button to the ribbon for a little more dimension.
These Easter flatware holders were sooooo easy and I think they will be perfect for the little’s table.
I love the place setting and I am ready for Easter Sunday dinner with the littles!
