How To Make Easter Table Decor
Oh my goodness y'all….Easter is this weekend! Am I the only one this holiday is sneaking up on?
You can whip up some of these utensil pouches for your Easter table decor in no time flat. This one was originally posted over at the Buttons Galore blog, but I'm reposting it here because I want to make sure y'all didn't miss it. So, grab some cookie bags and your favorite embellishments, and let's get started dressing up your Easter table!
Supplies Needed To Make Easter Table Decor
- Pretty Girl Button Brads
- Small Oval Sliders
- Basket Weave Embossing Folder
- Nestabilities Die from Spellbinders
- Clearsnap Chalk Inkpad in Yellow Citrus
- Colorbox Ink in Moody Blue
- Flower stamps
- Cookie Bags
- Markers
- Card stock
- Baker’s Twine
- Mod Podge
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Step 1: Emboss Cookie Bag & Color It With Chalk Ink
I used a cookie bag that I purchased in bulk for the base of my utensil pouch. You should be able to find something similar in a party supply store or online. I ran it through with the Spellbinders embossing folder and was happy to see that the embossing looked wonderful!
I then wanted a punch of color on the plain white bag, so I went over lightly with the chalk ink from Clearsnap in Yellow Citrus. Just allowing the embossing to really come to life.
Step 2: Adjust Size Of Cookie Bag (Optional)
The cookie bags are actually a little wide to be used for a utensil pouch. So, to fix this, I used the utensils as a guide and then folded over the excess on both sides. I then used Mod Podge to adhere the excess to the back of the pouch, as shown below.
Step 3: Decorate The Front Of The Cookie Bag
Now, let’s work on the decoration for the front of the utensil pouch!
First, I cut a shape from cardstock using the Spellbinders dies, and used some flower stamps to add two flowers. Then, I used fine-line craft markers to color in the stamps, and added the button brads to the center of both flowers.
Once everything was dry, I drew stems and leaves on my flowers using the same set of fine-line craft markers. Then, I stamped “Happy Easter” onto a small oval slider using the Colorbox Ink.
The cardstock shape was applied to the bag using Mod Podge. Then I used hot glue to attach the slider to the front. After everything had dried, I tied baker’s twine to one side of the slider, ran it around the back, and tied the other end to the opposite side of the slider. – Make the twine tight, but not so tight that it would damage the pouch.
Step 4: Add Nakpin & Utensils To Cookie Bag
Add a napkin and your utensils for a festive addition to your Easter table!
I think the basket weave emboss is perfect for spring, but you could incorporate other emboss folders you have to put your own unique spin on this idea. You could even personalize that shape on the front with your guests' names or initials. Then these great utensil pouches would double as place cards!
Also, don't love the flowers? You can change up the decor on the front as well. This technique is super easy to personalize and can be used for any occasion. So, use it to dress up your Easter table this week and your Sunday dinner table next!
