This is something I used to offer in my Etsy Shop a few years ago. I made so many of them over the years that I got tired of making them...I hate when that happens....but thought I would share it with blog land in case it inspires anyone to make one of their own. These are great for kids to teach them how to set a table, but I had alot of wives buy them (mostly as a joke) for their husbands at craft shows. :)
The very first one I made was for my son and he loved putting the appropriate utensil in the right spot. Now that he's ten - he knows pretty well how to set a table.
I simply cut out shapes to look like eating utensils, a napkin, a plate and a place for a glass.
I used fusible webbing on back and then appliqued around the edge of each piece. Lined it with thin fleece in between the front and back to give it some thickness and that's it!!!
Please see my sidebar to see where I have linked this post.




This is a cute idea to teach my preschooler how to set the table properly - thanks for the great idea!

Very cute! I'm not confident enough in my sewing abilities though! Maybe I can try to replicate this with laminated paper!!

This is an idea I'm sure my group of kids would enjoy. I'm actually thinking of making something similar out of paper and laminating it.
