DIY Paper Utensil Holders for Easter

This post may contain affiliate links.

I’m always down for an easy, fun DIY– especially when it comes to the holidays and it’s only going to be used for a short time! Why waste money on expensive decor you’re only going to see for one month of the year, if that! And for utensil holders, they are on the table, usually around people eating, and in my case… kids! So, you can probably see why I opted for DIY Paper Utensil Holders for Easter this year! This way, I won’t be upset at the end of the season when they get tossed– no harm, no foul! Let me show you how it’s done, friend!

what you’ll need for your diy paper utensil holders

lunch sack
- You can also use paper instead, and simply fold 1/3 upwards (hamburger), and then fold the paper over again backwards, but hotdog, or vertical, this time. Essentially, you just want to create a little pocket to put the utensils, the same way a paper bag would. I may even trim the paper down on the side some, just so it’s not so wide!
scissors
whatever you want to use to decorate your utensil holder… I used watercolor pencils, water, a paintbrush, and a pen.

time to assemble

Cut the lunch sack in half vertically or “hotdog,” if you will (if you have kids, you totally get this)!
Then cut the top half of the top flap off (hamburger style). See the picture below if you’re confused– it’ll make sense!
Now that bottom flap (that you didn’t cut) is going to be the ears. This is just a fun little DIY, so don’t stress too much about them being perfect, just cut them into bunny ears the best you can! If you fold the bag in half vertically again, you can cut them both at the same time and they will at least be symmetrical!
Now decorate your bunny! I just used a pen to outline the face.
And then used the watercolor pencils to add some color!
After filling in color with the pencils, I used water to execute the watercolor look I was going for!

7. Totally optional– you can glue on little accessories like a bowtie or a hair bow! Just cut out the bow shape and decorate however you want!

These DIY paper utensil holders are SO easy, and honestly just fun! They are a GREAT craft to do with younger kids, and once they’ve been destroyed, you can toss ’em– guilt free!
