Bunny napkin

Create a hopping mad place-setting in minutes with some clever folding

Time: 15 mins Skill level: Beginner Materials:

1 large, ironed, square, paper or cloth napkin

Open out the napkin on a flat surface. Fold in half, bringing the top edge to the bottom edge. Repeat again. Bring each side in to meet at the middle and fold down. You should have a triangle shape at the top.

4 Fold the bottom right edge to the middle crease, then fold the right side in half. This brings the right side to the centre, forming an ear.

5 Repeat step 4 with the left side. 6 Fold the pointed triangle at the top down backwards.

7 Slip the right top point into the ‘pocket’ that has been formed on the left. 8 Turn the napkin right side up and the rabbit’s ears will appear!
