Crafting with Paper: DIY Utensil holder

Paper, one of the most familiar, inexpensive, and abundant materials around, is great for arts and crafts.

With the right techniques, however, you can also use it for anything from prototyping small models to constructing furniture or even boats and buildings. Here’s how to push the limits of its potential.

Crafting with Paper: DIY Utensil Holders

Supplies:

– 12×12 Scrapbook Paper (Each paper makes two utensil holders, so grab as many as you’ll need.)

– Scissors

– Washi Tape

– Plastic Utensils

– Napkins (I used fun colors from RENOVA, I’ll share more details below!)

– Straws

Items Required

Instructions:

Step 1: Start off by cutting your scrapbook paper in half. As I mentioned above, one paper makes two utensil holders.

Step 2: Take out a napkin and place it in the middle of one of the pieces of scrapbook paper you just cut.

 Step 3: Fold over each side of the paper that’s overlapping the napkin.

Step 4: Fold down the upper corners of each side of the paper.

Step 5: Turn over the “almost” utensil holder. Fold the lower corners into small triangles and then fold the entire bottom upwards. 

Step 6: Secure the fold with wash tape.

Step 7: Place a piece of washi tape over the fold in the front. You don’t have to put some, I did it because I find it pretty!

Step 8: Insert the napkin, utensils, and straw.
