Everyone wants to present a beautiful Easter table for Easter. This consists of the right dishes and Easter decorations and also includes the good old napkins, regardless of whether they are made of paper or fabric. There are simple techniques you can use to create truly wonderful designs. Bring spring and a few Easter motifs to the table and take your guests' breath away by folding napkins for Easter in the following ways!
Make your own Easter bunny with an Easter egg for the Easter table
Although this napkin bunny looks complicated at first glance, it's actually not that difficult to make. Take any napkin with matching motifs or simply in a spring color and you're ready to go. It doesn't matter whether it's a cloth napkin or a paper napkin, but it should be square.
You will also need a piece of twine or ribbon to tie it together. What's special about this design, in addition to the bunny ears look, is the fact that you can put a nice Easter egg in it. This is how easy it is to fold the napkins for Easter:
- Spread the napkin in front of you.
- Fold it diagonally and fold over the tip opposite the fold.
- Then start rolling up the napkin.
- Fold the resulting roll in half.
- Place the Easter egg inside and tie the ends of the roll together just above it.
Tipp:You can also place the egg upright in the loop. This gives the whole thing the look of a nest, especially if you add some greenery (e.g. artificial moss). And how about drawing a rabbit's face with a sharpie?

- Fold the other end diagonally downwards so that it touches the edge of the other folded part.
- Turn the protruding end over (twist it, so to speak) and tuck it between the other layers.
- Now you can stand up the package you received and carefully open it in the middle to create a fabric container.
- Fill it with Easter eggs, candy or flowers as desired.

You could also fold a cutlery bag out of napkins for Easter! The great news is that you don't actually have to fold it, just twist it. So perfectfor a last minute table decorationor for an Easter picnic. It is important that you use an orange napkin (whether fabric or paper does not matter and just depends on the occasion). You can imitate carrot green with green cutlery. However, normal cutlery is also suitable, which you can back with green paper, for example. Here's how you can make this cute table decoration:
Folding napkins for Easter – instructions:
- Fold a square napkin in half once to create a rectangle (the fold is on the bottom side).If you use a paper napkin, simply unfold it once. Then you can save yourself this step.
- Take the right corner and fold it diagonally to the middle of the rectangle.
- Now place the cutlery on the left, unfolded side of the former rectangle (you can tie the cutlery together first). If you use normal cutlery, put green paper (e.g. B. Tissue paper) underneath and let it stick out a little at the top. This way you can imitate the green of a carrot without much effort.
- Wrap the cutlery up to the middle, then take the other side and wrap that around the cutlery too.
- To keep everything in place, tie a green ribbon, pipe cleaners or twine around the cutlery.
- You can attach a name tag or other decoration to the ribbon.
The finished cutlery bags look particularly effective when they are all presented together in a basket on the table (everyone can take out a bag before eating). But of course you can also simply place a carrot on each plate, which is also a good option if you use name cards to distribute the seats.
