Christmas Present Cutlery Holders | Easy Table Decor Pattern

Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps

Set the perfect Christmas table with Debbie Shore's present cutlery holders.

These quick and easy cutlery holders are pieced together to create the look of a beautifully tied gift. They are easily adapted, and by simply changing the fabrics, you can restyle them to suit birthdays, Easter or any special occasion!

Materials are given here for a set of four, but you can easily double up if needed. You could also consider making each cutlery holder unique by using different fabrics for each one – children will love to have their own particular design in their favourite colour. To maintain a coordinated look, you can just change either the main fabric or the contrast one each time, and keep the other fabric the same for all your cutlery holders.

These instructions and materials make four cutlery holders.

Note: Use ¼in (5mm) seam allowances.

Finished size: 4½ x 11½in (11.5 x 29cm)
