Cutlery bag as a simple all-round solution
A cutlery bag can be folded quickly and easily from a napkin. They are suitable for almost any occasion. The all-rounder is a good solution for elegantly and practically integrating cutlery into the table decoration. Cutlery and napkin are perfectly combined and always well placed - next to or on the plate. The napkin also serves as storage and protection for the cutlery and can later be unfolded and used as a classic napkin for guests to clean. The cutlery bag is particularly suitable for outdoor use. The bag lies on the table or plate and cannot be knocked over by a gust of wind. This makes a folded cutlery bag the perfect choice for your terrace, beer garden or other outdoor events. There are various versions of cutlery bags. Here you will find the bag with a simple slanted insertion flap.
Our tip
Add decorations such as a small sprig of rosemary or a flower to your cutlery! This will enhance the cutlery bag even more.
Which napkin is suitable?
Plain fabric napkins are best suited to this technique. A beautiful edge or decorative stitching really comes into its own. Napkins printed on both sides also work. Napkins printed on one side are not recommended as the front and back are visible. Solid-colored, sturdy paper napkins are also good for cutlery bags.
