DIY Easter Bunny Napkin Place Settings — Easy Step-by-Step Fold & Basket Tutorial

Make your spring table extra charming with these simple Easter Bunny napkin place settings. This quick DIY transforms cloth napkins into cute bunny figures that sit in a folded napkin "basket"—perfect for holding small treats and greeting guests with a whimsical touch.

You'll need: cloth napkins, tape, glue (or fabric glue), and small craft eyes and a nose (or draw them on). Follow the step-by-step photos below to fold the bunny and create the napkin basket.

1. Start out with a rectangle. Fold it in half so it becomes a square. Then, unfold it. Fold it over itself the other way so that it forms a narrower rectangle.

6. Fold it together down the middle loosely, and pull the “ears” out to either side a bit, opening them up a little so they look more like actual bunny ears. Put some tape on the other side to hold it all together.
7. Next, glue on the eyes and the nose.
