I first saw these bunny ear napkins popping up on Pinterest last year and I couldn't resist giving them a go. I’ve tested out a few different ways and found these two the easiest way to fold them.
You can make them using paper or cloth napkins. However, I did find it easier to make them using paper napkins. The thicker the napkin the harder it is to tuck the bunny closed.
If you have trouble holding your napkin in place wrap it with white twine. Tie in a bow and trim to create whiskers A lovely finishing touch would be a white mini pom-pom stuck on as a nose or maybe a cute fluffy tail. Don’t forget to only use a sticky glue dot or some white tack so you don’t ruin the cloth napkin.
