3 Ways How To Wrap Plastic Silverware In A Paper Napkin Fancy

      Candy wrap paper napkin fold with utensils is a fun and easy way to serve napkin folding with silverware and ribbon. This technique works well with solid color napkins or with some designed napkins. I used 13′ x 13′ (33 cm x 33 cm) size square napkins. We can make it depends on design our napkins just simple candy wrap or add ribbon. In my opinion, without ribbon is much more convenient for guests to open napkin and use silverware. However, it does not work well with every napkin design without ties. For this fold the best to choose bright color napkins with designs.

     So many ways to use this technique for many party themes, especially for kids or summer party table settings.

1. Unfold the napkin and place cutlery inside.

2. Roll over napkin around cutlery. Try keep more room inside as possible, so our candy wrap napkin will be nice look.

3. Pinch both sides and hold, so napkin memorizes the shape. Our candy wrap napkin fold with cutlery is ready.

*When I tried to twist instead of pinch napkin, looks not so attractive.

4. I used white rick rack trim to tie the candy wrap. I cut trim 2 pieces 4 inches long each.

5. Tie rick rack ribbon 1 time, so our guest will be able easy to remove it.

On the photo below, I used a white plain napkin with red rick rack trim. As you can see with this technique we can serve fun and the cute way any color napkin as long we have right decor ties on it. We can call this napkin fold the gift-roll fold also because it looks like a gift wrap.

I try napkins with the border design for this fold and it works so well too as you can see in the photo below.

I tried different color and designs napkins, I learned with white napkin inside most napkins work great for the technique. It is really great way to put utensils in 2 color paper napkins. Yes, I can say it takes time to fold it. However, you can make this napkin fold in advance and stock on each other. Just place utensils inside when the event comes.

This napkin fold is great to serve cutlery for picnics, kids’ events, or BBQ parties. For this fold, we can use any size of napkin. In the photo, I used a 13′ x 13′ (33 cm x 33 cm) size napkin.

       To hold our bow tie with silverware we can use colorful ribbons, cute elastic, trims, decorative tape, or just simply make stripes from craft paper and tape together. So many possibilities when we look at the craft store! One more is a ribbon with wire in it. The convenience, we just twist the ribbon to lock it up on the napkin. Or we can find them at craft stores with decorative wires and attach some decor with them.

      Ribbons we can tape them together with clear tape. If we use narrow trims, try just tying one time on the back of the bow.

      My favorite way to hold napkins and silverware together is elastic. The reason I like elastic is easy for our guests to remove and esthetically the most elegant presentation even after guests remove the elastic band. Elastic we can stitch together or glue together with a craft glue gun is an option too.

*So many options for elastic tapes with designs in stores online. However, remember when you shop the color can be different than on your computer screen. It is the reason why I like to shop locally if I need to match something together.

Tip How To Stop Ribbon From Fraying

If your ribbon will fray, just hold the end of the ribbon above the fire of the candle and the ribbon is going to melt. This simple step stops the fabric ribbon from fraying. This works only with synthetic fibers. If the ribbon is made from cotton or linen, it will be ashes if we fire it. Most ribbons I used were made from synthetic fibers these days.

1. I used ruffle elastic to hold napkin with cutlery together. I cut 4 inch piece. Remember we need extra lenght for stitching.

This attractive elastic I bought at local fabric store.

2. Sew together and I have the elastic band to hold my napkin and silverware together.

3. I place my silver-look cutlery on the middle of the napkin.

4. Fold over the silverware napkin but not too tight. So when we are going to make a bow, we don’t wrinkle the napkin too much.

5. Put elastic on the napkin with silverware inside and the bow is ready to serve.

Very easy and fun napkin fold with the elastic band!
