How to beautifully fold napkins for the Easter table: 4 options (+ bonus video)

Easter is the brightest Christian holiday when the family gathers at a large table. In addition to preparing a festive menu, each hostess should think about how she will serve and decorate the table in order to create a cozy and festive mood for everyone. We at Joy-pup decided to share ideas on how to fold napkins on the Easter table in an original way to emphasize the character of the holiday and bring spring mood.

Rabbit with egg face

When setting the table for a holiday, it’s all about the effort and care you put into the little details. And napkins are no exception, whether they are fabric or paper. Among the attributes of the holiday, along with eggs and traditional pastries, you can find a white rabbit, which came to us from European countries. Here is a very easy way to fold the Easter bunny and place his beautifully colored egg. Complete the decor with a minimalist embellishment that just completes the cute look. Prepare a square paper or cloth napkin, twine and decoration of your choice (optional).

1. Unfold the napkin and place it on a flat surface (square shape preferred).
2. Fold it in half, holding one end and connecting it to the opposite to make a triangle.
3. Fold the napkin into a stripe, starting at a right angle that forms a triangle.
4. Fold in half, matching the ears of the rabbit.
5. Place the egg at the bottom where the fold will be and tie the napkin with twine right above the egg.
6. Place pretty spring plant sprigs or other decorations to complete the Easter doily look.

Boat napkins

Transform your towels into a beautiful boat that can hold Easter decor. You will need a napkin 40×40, ribbon, decor.

1. Open the napkin completely and fold it in half.
2. Fold the napkin into an accordion shape.
3. Secure the towels at a distance of about 8 cm from both ends with a rope. Don’t overtighten.
4. Carefully open the center section to create a small nest.
5. Straighten the ends carefully.
6. Add some Easter eggs or other decorations and your napkin boat is ready.

Bird nests

If you love fabric embellishments, here is an original idea on how to fold napkins in the shape of a bird’s nest. A creative idea will serve as a table decoration for Easter and is ideal for the overall decor.

1. Fold a 40×40 cm napkin in half diagonally.
2. Fold the folded napkin as shown in the picture.
3. Take the left end, form a small circle and tuck it under the folded napkin so it stays in place.
4. Repeat for the right side and place the egg in the center of the nest.

Rabbit origami

We offer you another idea for making an Easter bunny from a napkin. This method is very reminiscent of origami and the result is impressive. You will again need square napkins (fabric or paper) and a little patience.
