I made these utensil holders from painter’s drop-cloth fabric and leftover gingham from our kitchen chairs. Hot glue holds the pieces together, thick jute finishes the edges, and a stenciled rooster gives each holder a country-kitchen detail.
Use leftover fabric from other projects
I had the supplies out after making my no-sew drop-cloth pillow. I cut pieces of the tarp fabric and the red-and-white gingham left over from recovering the kitchen chairs.
The pillow below was the project that started this round of crafting.
Hot-glue the pocket and add jute trim
I used the drop cloth for the tall back and the gingham for the shorter front pocket. I hot-glued the pieces together and added thick jute trim around the edges. The photographs show the open top where the utensils slide in.
Stencil a rooster on the drop cloth
I stenciled a black rooster on the upper section of each holder. This project was a quick use of the supplies I had on hand rather than a measured pattern; I did not record fabric dimensions.
Pack them for a picnic
I pictured these going on a picnic as the weather warmed up. Mike and I used to picnic in the park when we were dating, and making the holders reminded me to plan another one.
