I can’t believe the 4th of July is right around the corner. I don’t know where the time goes. On the 4th we are going to have a BBQ/Picnic. I found a great craft project to make to use for the day on P&Geveryday. I am going to make Easy Picnic Utensil Holders. They were fun and easy to make.  IMG_0415

It only took a few items to make these handy Utensil Holders Paper ~ sacks (brown paper “lunch” bags), colored tape, plastic utensils and paper napkins.

The first step is to take the lunch bag and place it on a hard surface and fold it up from the bottom.  This is the pocket to put the utensils.  Create a crisp crease.

Next take a strip of colored tape and place half of it on the top edge of your folded piece, and then press down to make sure the tape adheres correctly. Do the same to each side of the bag.

If you want to personalize the holder now would be the time to add stamps, stickers, names or phrases like “Bon Appetit” or “Eat, Drink and Be Merry”.

The finial step is adding the napkin and plastic utensils.  It is fun getting colored napkins and utensils to match your theme.

My finished Picnic Utensil Holders

What is really great is that you can open the bag when you are done eating and collect all your trash to throw away.  So not only is it a cute idea it is practical too!

I really like P&Geveryday they have all kinds of articles on the site.  You will find delicious recipes, beauty trends, smart tips, DIY projects, fresh ideas, product ratings and reviews, coupons from trusted brands and much more. They have some great Quick & Easy Recipes that I love – like  4 things to do with left-over mashed potatoes and No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.  There is a section on family bonding.  You can find something new every day.  They have great ideas for holidays too.  I try to go to P&Geveryday™ a few times a week.

P&Geveryday™ is about listening to what you truly need and sharing resourceful ideas, advice and products to make it easy for you to enjoy life … every day.  It is your online platform created by Procter & Gamble, a company that has been establishing brands for the past 175 years.

I think P&Geveryday has something for everyone.  Make sure you check them out and leave me a comment on what you found that you like.  Check out their P&Geveryday Facebook page for even more ideas on how to achieve a life full of rewarding moments.Kaisy1

  45. This is a great idea. A way to dress up disposable silverware and napkins. I’ve had parties that I wanted to look nice and so I used real silverware and after I’m up late washing dishes. Or I used the disposables and had to accept that it didn’t look great. This would be a cute way to compromise.

  46. What a cute idea and so easy! Thanks for sharing. I love all the cute designs that are available now on disposable items, they use to be white or white!
