For this blog hop I have created a Take Out Menu Holder! This holder can be used to house take out menus from all your favorite restaurants. An alternate idea is to change up the cuts and create a holder for your receipts. The end product is super cute, pretty sturdy, and economical. They would make great Christmas presents for your children's teachers or for anyone who is on a budget. You can even include a gift card to a restaurant (for the menu) or to a store (for the receipt holder) if you were gifting this and wanted to add a little extra something.
Front of the menu holder. |
Materials used:
|
Open the folder and fold the two pockets inward, evenly to the middle. |
Use a bone folder to create a sharp edge. |
The folder should fold like this. |
Open the folder all the way up and ink all the edges at least 1/4" in. No more then 1/2 inch of inking is needed. |
Ink the back of the folder as well. |
Here are the papers I selected. I printed all of them from the Imagine cartridge "Kate's Kitchen". Aren't they all so fun and cheery looking? |
This is how the inside will look once all the papers are adhered. |
This is how the outside will look. |
Each of the bottom inside images were cut at 2". I left the conversation bubbles blank so that my favorite style of restaurants can be added in. For example, Pizza, Chinese, etc. |
This is what the back of the holder looks like when fully opened. |
I didn't adhere the tops of the recipe note cards so that they formed pockets where gift or business cards could be added. |
Back of the holder. |
This is what it looks like closed.

What a great idea! I have a drawer at home and at work that have takeout menus just tossed in them. How easy would it be to have them all in one place with the gifts cards too. I always forget I have a gift card until it's too late! TFS

I came over here to make sure I was a follower after reading your post on the MB, and realized I never commented on your cool project!! I love this -- that Imagine cart is perfect for this one. You are shooting out some of the most fun stuff that I have seen! Pinning it on pinterest!!
ReplyDeletewow -that is SUPER cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super, super idea!! I've never seen anybody create a take-out menu folder. We have a collection of menus tucked in a drawer - which is not at all as impressive as your wonderful folder! It looks fabulous! I love the idea of having a notes section too, in order to keep track of what's good and what wasn't such a hit. I LOVE the embossed chef's hat. That's so cute!
