DIY Silverware Holder

With tomorrow being September 1st, that gives us all free reign on thinking and doing all things Fall, right?! While it is still miserably hot here in Phoenix, I still can’t get Fall off the brain. And with Fall comes Thanksgiving, and about a million and one other large events. Dinner parties, holiday parties, large parties are everywhere. To help keep costs down, but keep the cute factor up, I made the most simple DIY silverware holder ever! I thought our previous silverware napkin holder was easy, but this is a whole new level.

You see, we host Thanksgiving every year for both sides of our families, which equals a whole lot of people. This year I am getting a head start on prepping since I just completed my Home Depot Style Challenge, and I had my Dining Room! I am hoping by getting a ton of stuff done ahead of time, that way when Thanksgiving is actually here it can be a time of relaxing and good food.

For a silverware holder this year I used an unexpected element- and it was super cheap and worked out perfectly.

I ran to Home Depot and grabbed a pack of 18 gauge copper wire and went to town! The bamboo silverware is from here, and is so cute for when you need a ton of silverware. 100 pieces for under $10!? Perfect! I loved the unexpected element of Copper, but still wanted something that screamed Fall with them, so I added a Fall leaf to each silverware set.

The wire holds it all together tight enough to where nothing slips out, but not so tight that you cant pull each piece out. I love the look of mixing metals, so having this copper on the beautiful brass antique chargers I borrowed was awesome.

What do you think? If you create something like this- leave it in a comment or share with me on FB. I would love to see your creations!
