Folding your napkins into playful bunny shapes will bring your Easter table to life. Use well-starched crisp cotton or linen to transform the fabric into the sturdiest bunnies for a festive tablescape. Fold napkins the day before your meal so your "warren" is full when guests arrive. Read on to learn how to make a bunny napkin fold using this easy-to-follow tutorial.

You can use large, sturdy paper napkins as an alternative to fabric. Just be extra gentle when doing your folds.

What You'll Need

Materials

Cotton or linen napkins, starched

Instructions

Form a Rectangle

Fold the starched napkin into thirds to form a rectangle. (If you're using a square napkin, you'll need to fold it in half and then fold it in half again to get a long rectangular shape.)
Crease the Fabric

Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold the top corners down along this line.
Make a Fold

Fold up from the bottom corners along dotted lines.
Center the Edges

Bring the left and right edges together on the center line.
Flip Over

Flip the napkin upside down and over. Turn up the bottom point.
Fasten and Tuck for Ears

To fasten, fold the left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up the base.

Tuck a faux or real Easter egg into the folds of your bunny napkin fold for an extra treat. Coordinate the colors of your Easter eggs with the napkins you use as an extra special touch for your holiday table.
