Printable Thanksgiving Utensil Holders

by Kristina - CuteCrafting

My original inspiration behind making these was to create something for people working on Thanksgiving day to pack in their lunches so they could have a little something special to hold their utensils. These hold regular silverware as well as the "to go" silverware packs we all get when ordering out for those on the go.
These are very easy to cut out and tape. Easy enough that the kids might want to join in on the crafting and make these while you are busy in the kitchen preparing the big feast.
I know I enjoyed making stuff like this when I was young, but then I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo and he was always making the neatest stuff! It was amazing what he could do with a little paper, scissors, and tape.

Step Two:

Before printing make sure that the "fit to page" selection "Is NOT" selected so they print out the correct size.

Step Three:

Load your printer with your cardstock or matte photo paper and print the pocket template.

Step Four:

With a good pair of paper scissors cut the template and inside top lining out from the printed sheet.

Score on the grey lines on the printed side of the template for your fold lines. If you do not have a scoring board you can just fold on the grey lines and press firmly to create a flat seam. Turn your template over so the unprinted side is facing you.

Run double sided craft tape along the outer left side from top to bottom on the template.

Next you will run 2 strips of double sided craft tap along the backside of the inside lining topper.

Step Five:

Remove the tape from the inside lining topper and place it along the top and sides of the inside (blank side)of your pocket. If you are off a little on the alignment just trim along the top edges so they both match up.

Fold the right side flap over to match the seam line on the left center. This side does not require any tape.

Then fold the left side (with tape) over to match the outer edge on the right.
