What You'll Need

Materials

Cotton or linen napkins, starched

Instructions

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.)
Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold the top corners down along this line.
Fold up from the bottom corners along dotted lines.
Bring the left and right edges together on the center line.
Flip the napkin upside down and over. Turn up the bottom point.
To fasten, fold the left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up base.
