Print out as many bands as you need.
I found that one band actually wrapped around two napkin bundles.
Use standard copy paper so the wrapping is easy.
Cut out the individual bands.
Roll the utensils into the paper napkin. I found placing the utensils on the napkin at a diagonal actually covered and protected more of the utensil surface.
Wrap the band around the bundle.
Use a Craft Glue Dot to hold the band tightly around the napkin.
Make as many as you need for your celebration.
