Bunny Fold for Napkins

Adorable for any Spring themed meal setting.  Thanks Martha.

Needed:
Well-starched crisp cotton or linen will transform into the sturdiest bunnies. Fold napkins the day before your meal so your "warren" is full when guests arrive.



Step 1:
Fold starched napkin into thirds to form a rectangle. (If you're using a square napkin, you'll need to fold in half, and then fold in half again to get a long rectangular shape.)
Step 2:
Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold top corners down along this line.








Step 3:
Fold up from bottom corners along dotted lines.









Step 4:
Bring left and right edges together on center line.






Step 5:
Flip upside down and over. Turn up bottom point.








Step 6:
To fasten: Fold left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up base.



I've heard there is a youtube video for these too.  If I find it I will share that as well.  Sometimes it helps me to watch instead of just use diagrams.
