Fold a Napkin Into a Bunny

Folding a napkin into a bunny is a fairly straightforward exercise with an effective result. The bunny napkin is suitable for spring and Easter table displays, for children's parties, and for any dinner party where you'd like to add a bit of fun.

Steps

  1. Use the right napkin. For this to work best, the napkin should be large and square. It can be paper or cloth, but shouldn't be limp, so cloth may need to be starched lightly. Ensure that the cloth is crease-free too.
  2. Place the napkin down on a work surface, opened out to its full square.
  3. Fold the napkin in half. Bring the top edge to the bottom edge.
  4. Repeat the fold again. As before, bring the top edge to the bottom edge.
  5. Bring each side to meet in the middle and fold down.
  6. Fold the bottom right edges to the middle crease.
  7. Fold the right side in half. This brings the right side to the center, forming an ear.
  8. Repeat with the left side.
  9. Fold the pointed triangle at the top down.
  10. Slip the right top point into the pocket formed on the left.
  11. Turn the napkin right side up. The rabbit's ears will appear.
  12. Place on display.



Tips

  • While the napkin should stand up straight alone, if you wish, you can place the napkin base into a napkin ring or slip the whole napkin into a tall-stemmed glass.

Things You'll Need

  • Napkin (paper or stiff cloth) in an exact square
  • Flat work surface
  • Googly eyes for rabbit's face (optional)
