Materials You Will Need:

1. Cardstock or Matte Photo Paper
( I prefer LD Premiem Inkjet Heavy Coated Paper it's inexpensive and prints in vivid colors. )
2. Scissors
3. Double Sided Tape ( I prefer Scor-Pal ) or ribbon to attach gift tags to your packages.
4. Access to a printer.

If you don't have a printer most Public Libraries will allow you to bring your own cardstock or matte photo paper and they usually charge a nominal fee. You can always call them in advance to find out their pricing.

Step One:

Step Two:

Before printing make sure that the “fit to page” selection "Is NOT" selected so they print out the correct size.

Step Three:

Load your printer with your cardstock or matte photo paper and print the pocket template.

Step Four:

With a good pair of paper scissors cut the template and inside top lining out from the printed sheet.

Score on the grey lines on the printed side of the template for your fold lines. If you do not have a scoring board you can just fold on the grey lines and press firmly to create a flat seam. Turn your template over so the unprinted side is facing you.

Run double sided craft tape along the outer left side from top to bottom on the template.
Next you will run 2 strips of double sided craft tap along the backside of the inside lining topper.
See photo below:

Step Five:

Remove the tape from the inside lining topper and place it along the top and sides of the inside (blank side)of your pocket. If you are off a little on the alignment just trim along the top edges so they both match up.
Fold the right side flap over to match the seam line on the left center. This side does not require any tape.
Then fold the left side (with tape) over to match the outer edge on the right.
See photo below:

Step Six:

Run double sided tape along the bottom flap. Fold the flap up and press to seal.
See photo below:

Your silverware pocket is complete now and ready for you to place a folded napkin and silverware into it.
