This simple sewing project for a DIY utensil holder turns two squares of fabric or cloth napkins into a wrap ideal for keeping your utensils clean. It can be easily washed after carrying your used forks and spoons home. It’s also an easy way to transport knives safely. This sewing project isn’t just for picnics and potlucks; use your handmade holder in the kitchen, craft room, or garden. Simply resize the pockets based on the utensils you need to store.
Use a sewing machine ($85, Walmart) to sew the fabric panels together. Start on a long side and sew a 1/2-inch seam along three sides. Leave the short pressed end of the rectangle open. Use the open end to turn the fabric right side out and press to remove any creases. Sew the open end closed with a topstitch.
Add a set of utensils, then fold the top over and roll the wrap shut. Use the twill tape to tie it closed.
