Holiday Utensil Holders

Hello everyone, ready for Christmas yet??  Today I wanted to share with you these very easy and super cute utensil holders that I made.  These are a great addition to a sit down holiday dinner or a potluck party.  I made these for an upcoming Christmas party.

The base was cut from Artiste at 2.5 inches, scored and folded, then I inked the edges on both sides.

The flowers were cut at 2, 1.75, 1.5, 1.25 inches, then I inked the edges, scored and creased the leaves, and layered them from largest to smallest.  Then I finished it with an adhesive pearl in the middle.

The holly leaves were cut from Joys Of The Season at 2.5 inches.  I inked the leaves and on some, I added red glitter.

For the sentiment, I used the stamp set Scandanavian Wishes (a previous Stamp of the Month)

I added about 27" of twine and little bells and then they were ready for the utensils.

These Holiday Utensil Holders are so easy to create, you can make a lot or a little.

Supplies used:
Artiste cartridge
Joys Of The Season cartridge
Cranberry and Olive cardstock
Cranberry and Olive Ink
Kraft paper
Scandinavian Wishes stamp set (s1310)
Adhesive pearls
Liquid glass
Twine, bells, red glitter
