I can hardly believe Easter is so quickly approaching.  Our family always has a large Easter gathering to celebrate.  I’ve been busy making these cute Easter Utensil Holders from Burlap to add extra color and décor to our dinner table.  They are easy and inexpensive Easter table ideas. They serve as pretty Easter place settings and decorations all at once and I think they are just so adorable! These homemade place settings for Easter can be used year after year.

Easter Utensil Holders 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 sure Easter cutlery holder!

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

How To Make Easter Place Settings

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 and 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.

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

Using your same paint brush 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 to 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.

Easter Table Decoration Conclusion

Fill your DIY Easter place settings with silverware and place at each place setting.  You can also add a napkin to each holder.  You can even go a step further to personalize these homemade utensil holders. It would be fun to do the bunnies in different colors or do them all the same to match your dinnerware!  You could also stencil your guests’ names on the utensil holders and they will double as place cards.  Finally, you could even leave off the bunny for a DIY cutlery holder to use anytime of the year.

Do you think you will make these DIY Easter place settings? I’d love to see what colors you choose and how they come out. Tag us @familyfocublog!
