Easter Bunny Napkins

Nothing creams Easter like the Easter bunny and these rabbit-shaped napkins are the perfect Spring detail to add to your table top setting.

Tip: Fold your Easter bunny napkins a day or two before so you have an army of bunnies ready and waiting for your guests

How to:

Step 1: Start with your napkin fully laid open and then fold in half starting from the bottom

Step 2: Fold in half for a second time

Step 3: Taking the left top-hand corner, fold your napkin down towards the centre and then do the same with the right. By now you should have what looks like the shape of a house

Step 4: From here, take the bottom right-hand corner and fold upwards towards the centre of your napkin. Repeat the same fold with the bottom left-hand corner

Step 5: Your napkin should resemble a small square shape. From here, take the left corner and fold so that it meets in the centre

Step 6: Do the same fold with the right side until you have what resembles a kite shape

Step 7: Turn the napkin over so that the folds are now on the back of your napkin and then flip the top part towards the bottom, so the point is now facing down

Step 8: Flip the top-most point towards the centre and flip your napkin over again

Step 9: You should now have what looks like a downward pointing triangle

Step 10: Fold the top right corner towards the centre

Step 11: Do the same with left corner, making sure to tuck it securely underneath the right fold to create a hold. Turn your napkin around one more time and open up the 'ears' to look more like the Easter bunny

The Easter Crown

Give your Easter table top the royal stamp of approval by folding your napkins in the shape of a crown. The Easter Crown is a fairly straightforward napkin fold and looks best when done with a small - regular-sized napkin.

Tip: Surprise your guests by popping a chocolate egg inside your finished Easter crown napkins

How to:

Step 1: Using a square-shaped napkin, fold in half from the bottom

Step 2: Take the bottom right-hand corner and fold directly into the centre. Do the same again for the left side but this time folding from the top-hand to the centre

Step 3: Turn your folded napkin 90 degrees towards the right. Ideally the longer edges of your napkin should now be at the top and bottom

Step 4: From the top, fold your napkin in half again and untuck it so that it points out directly

Step 5: Open up the right side completely

Step 6: Take the left corner and fold into the right side

Step 7: Flip the right side back over, making sure that the left corner is concealed inside

Step 8: Flip over once more

Step 9: Tuck the remaining right corner into the left, open up your napkin to reveal a crown shape

Easter Bunny Ears with Eggs

Probably the most simple but visually appealing Easter napkin fold, our Easter bunny ears will give your table top that instant wow factor.

Tip: Draw cute rabbit-style faces onto your eggs and really bring them to life

How to:

Step 1: Place your napkin down so that it creates a diamond shape and fold in half from top to bottom

Step 2: Take the bottom corners and slowly start to fold them up until you reach the top of the napkin.

Step 3: The width of your napkin should now be the same size as your index and middle finger put together.

Step 4: Place an egg into the centre of your napkin, then pull the napkin around the egg to create your long bunny ears

Step 5: Tie a ribbon or string (whichever you prefer) around your ears to keep secure.
