Hosting the family Thanksgiving dinner is fun and I like to make little decorations to make it festive.
Last year I made printable napkin holders, personalized with each guest name. Everyone thought it was a cute idea 🙂

This is what it looked like last year:
This year we are again hosting dinner, this time for 14 people. It is the one time of the year that I actually cook!
We are simple and frugal people, so we decorate with paper tablecloths and Chinet plates (cheaper and easier than cleaning dishes for 14!). While staying within budget, I still want things to look nice.
Create these DIY Thanksgiving Utensil Holders with a FREE Printable. #Thanksgiving #Printables #DIY Share on XThis year I am mixing things up with some decorated tablecloths and solid yellow ones. I also created a couple of printables I am using. One is to create cool utensil holders!
Use This FREE Printable To Make Your Thanksgiving Utensil Holder!
First, download this PDF. Print the PDF on sturdy cardstock. The print will have 2 utensil holders per printed sheet.
Use a trimmer or scissors to cut the page lengthwise.
Print, Fold, and Glue
Fold each holder below the design. Then use glue or staples to hold the sides together.
If you glued the paper, let it completely dry and then add your napkin and utensils. You can write the guest’s name on them if you want.
I hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that maybe you got some useful ideas from me.
