I happen to have a lot of greeting card envelopes just lying around, gathering dust. I also had a need to organize utensils for my boy's birthday bash dinner. The theme for his party was mock paintball which gave me license to incorporate a variety of colors. As I like to do things a little differently than most, I decided to use my stash of envelopes as utensil and party favor holders.
My man helped me out on this one. While I was wrapping the plastic utensils in paper napkins, he was busy sealing and snipping the envelopes. This was one of those times where I was glad I had a pair of pinking shears available. They make nifty designs in paper. Once the envelopes were cut and filled with utensils, I taped a noisemaker to the front. I then added in a few Pixie Stix and a bendy straw and the project was complete.
Oddly enough, the adults at the party had as much fun with the candy and noisemakers as did the teens. Go figure.
