give thanks Silverware Pocket

Another Halloween has come and gone and we are movin’ on to Thanksgiving!  Seriously…is it November already?

The first day of the month means it’s time for a new Scor-Pal challenge.  This month’s theme is Family/Thanksgiving.  When families get together, we usually eat!  So today’s project is all about the Thanksgiving table and giving thanks.

I created a super simple Silverware Pocket that would look great at each place setting.  (Or they would look cute to fill them up and place them all in a basket if you have a large family gathering and serve the food buffet style.)

I didn’t add the napkin behind the utensils so I could get a photo of the scored back but you can easily slip a napkin in there too and they’d be good to go!

To make the pocket, I started with a piece of 4 1/4″ x 11″ cardstock (half a sheet).  Score the 11″ side at 4″ and fold.

Next I diagonally scored the back every 1/2″ in both directions.

Finally, use Scor-Tape on both sides of the pocket to keep it closed, or stitch with a sewing machine as I have done.  Then decorate your silverware pocket as desired.

Now check out the other fun projects on the Scor-Pal blog and play along!
