As I surfed the net today.... looking for something super bun-derful to decorate my Easter table.... I came across this amazing bunny napkin courtsey of delish. It's fun and easy.

All you need are some square napkins (I found a thin 18 inches to be the best) and a can of spray starch.
I sprayed the napkins as I needed them with spray starch. When they were dry...and a bit stiff... I began to fold.
Here we go!
Step 1: Lay your napkin out flat
Step 2: Fold the napkin in half away from you.
Step 3: Fold in half again to form a long rectangle.
Step 4: Fold the right and left sides up to meet the center forming a point at one end.
Step 5:Fold up the the remaining two sides to meet the center.
Step 6: Fold the side corners (right then left) in
so they meet in the center, but don't fold exactly straight.
(Pull up above the center point and you'll see bunny ears start to
appear!)
At this point the napkin will be kite shaped.
Step 7: Gently turn the napkin over.
Step 8: Fold the bottom point up, so it's about 1 inch from the center of the napkin.
Gently turn the napkin over.
Step 9: Roll the left side over, slightly past the center of the napkin.
Step 10: Fold the right side over, tucking the end into the pocket you created on the left side, holding your napkin together.
Step 11: Turn the napkin upright, separating the bottom to form a base. Fluff your bunny's ears.
To make the face, cut a circle from felt and glue some waxed thread "whiskers" to the back. Attach with a screw pin (found in the upholstery section of your local home/fabric store).
So there you are! Fun little bunnies that serve as table decorations AND napkins. I hope you give this a try for your Easter table.
Hoppy Folding.
