And now let’s get to our DIY craft tutorial for making the perfect Easter silverware pouch.

Easter Utensil Holder Tutorial

Setting a festive Easter table is always part of the fun of celebrating this special day. These homemade easter silverware holders are a great way to make your table look pretty and they are functional too. Pretty place settings really make the meal feel like more or a special event. So go ahead and make this cute Easter cutlery holder!

FYI, I had so much trouble trying to decide what to call this utensil holder for the table! Other accurate description could include silverware pouch, cutlery holder, silverware sleeve, or flatware pouch. What do you call these table setting additions?

Little kids will love to help set the table for Easter dinner when you show them the Easter bunny utensil holder! They add a special touch to the eating area.

Silverware Pouch Craft Supplies:

• Burlap – each utensil holder will need about 5” x 15”
• Paint – your choice of color and white
• Small foam paint brush
• Ribbon or burlap ribbon
• Sewing machine, thread, scissors

If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can use a hot glue gun instead. Use it to glue the pocket pieces together and attach the ribbon.

How To Make Utensil Holder For Silverware (Out of Burlap)

To make each burlap utensil holder, begin by cutting the burlap into pieces about 5” wide and 15” long.  Cut enough pieces to create as many utensil holders as you need.

Measure and cut pieces of ribbon approximately 1” narrower than your burlap strips.

Use your sewing machine to attach the ribbon to one end of the burlap strip.  The ribbon should be 1/2” in from the edges of the burlap on 3 sides. Sew through the center of the ribbon. I used a small zigzag stitch to make it look a little prettier.

When your ribbon is attached, fold that end of the burlap up to create what will become the utensil pocket.  The fold should be at about 1/3 of the piece. It will vary based on your utensils.

When the burlap is folded into place, you’ll add a stitch around the sides and top of the holder.  The stitch should be about 1/2” in from the edges. This will hold your fold in place. It will also stop the burlap from fraying beyond the stitch line. Again I used a small zigzag stitch.

After the utensil holder has been sewn, pull out all loose strands of burlap to fray the edges.  Be sure to fray along the ribbon as well.

Add Easter Decorations To The Homemade Flatware Pouch

Next you’ll use a small amount of paint to add the Easter bunny to the front of the cute utensil holder.  First, add two angled lines for ears. Then, add a small circle for the head. Finally, add a larger circle for the bunny body.  After the paint has dried, you’ll add a small white circle of paint to create the bunny tail.

Using your same paintbrush, dab a small amount of paint to the frayed edges of the cutlery holder. This adds a nice extra pop of color!  Make sure to do the painting over a scrap paper or on a covered work surface. This will protect your table.

Let the paint dry completely. Now, your napkin holders are all ready to use to set your table for your Easter celebration. They will be a fun part of your festivities! This DIY utensil holder for party is easy and adorable and can be used year after year.

More Easter Place Setting Ideas

Here are some more cute Easter place setting ideas that work for brunch, lunch, or dinner — whether you’re going formal or fun and family-friendly:

1. Floral Plate Accents

• Place a small fresh flower or faux bloom on each plate (daisy, tulip, or baby’s breath).
• Or tuck it into the silverware pouch.

2. Mini Egg Cartons or Nests

• Use mini egg cartons or tiny faux bird nests to hold small chocolate eggs at each place.
• Bonus: Attach a name tag to make them place cards too!

3. Pastel Table Runners & Plates

• Stick with soft Easter colors: blush pinks, mint greens, butter yellows, and lilacs.
• Use mismatched pastel plates or layer a white plate over a colored charger.
