Introduction

Some magicians pull rabbits out of hats; others conjure them from the linen closet. Do a little sleight of hand (see our folding guide, below) and — presto, chango — you've whipped up a stylish Easter tabletop that lets guests know they're somebunny special. (Tip: These long-eared lovelies would also be adorable at a baby shower.)

 

The Details: Sferra Festival napkin, in Blush, $58 for 4, sferra.com. Canvas Home Dauville dinner plate, $35; and salad plate, in Platinum, $25, canvashomestore.com.

materials

  • Dinner napkin (we used a 20-by-20-inch dinner napkin for this origami-inspired idea, but a square lunch napkin works too, so long as it’s starched and ironed)
  • Ribbon
  • Hard-boiled egg
  • Black paint marker

steps

  1. Fold a napkin into thirds.
