Easter Bunny Napkin Craft

Easter Bunny Napkin Craft-

This post was not the original post I had planned. You see here in blog land so many of us think alike. Many of you may have seen these cute bunny ear napkin rings in some of your local shops. I saw them and I immediately thought ( light bulb moment) I’ll make these and share them with my wonderful bloggy friends. Debby the sweet blogger at Confessions Of A Plate Addict had the same idea! She posted her tutorial last week. I had a good giggle. Because this has happened several times before. She shows you how to make the napkin rings and I’ll share by Easter Bunny Napkins.

Pier 1 Inspired Bunny Ear Napkin Rings

I  set up my sewing machine and got busy with this Easter Bunny Napkin Craft.

What you Need

White or solid color cotton fabric pre-washed and ironed ( or cotton linen mix) I found mine at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts

Patterned cotton fabric ( pre-washed and ironed)

Velcro dots

Needle

Thread

Scissors

Fancy trim ( lace eyelet etc.)

Embroidery hoop ( optional)

Embroidery floss ( optional)

Bunny template ( I have been making these little bunnies since I was a little girl. Just make circles and taa daa. But you can get my template here

Sewing machine ( or needle and thread)

Straight pins

Iron

Bunny Template ( see below)

pom poms ( varying sizes)

Before You Start bunny napkin template katherines corner

Cut out the bunny template ( you may need to adjust the size for your napkin. I have been making this little trio of bunnies since I was a little girl. It was one of the first things I taught my daughter to draw 😉

Let Make It!

Begin by cutting your solid color fabric into 18 x 18 inch squares ( or smaller if you prefer). Double roll the edges and press well with an iron.

how to sew a napkin rolled edge katherines corner

Using your sewing machine or hand stitch, or if you are fortunate enough to have a rolled edge hemmer foot on your sewing machine, sew the pressed edge. ( sorry about the photos its hard to hold an iron, the fabric and take the photo) Notice my supervisor Izzy is asleep on the job 🙂

Next lets add some trim to the top and bottom of the napkin ( optional). Pin your trim/lace in place on the top and bottom edge of your napkin. Leaving a bit (about a 1/2 inch ) of the trim over the edge. Try and stitch over your original seam if possible. You may need to sew two rows if you are using wide trim like I am (sew one on the edge and one on your original seam). Stitch down using your sewing machine or needle and thread.

add trim to easter napkin

Lay your cut out bunnies template onto your printed fabric and pin in place. Cut the bunnies out and pin them to the center bottom of the napkin about an inch above your trim edge. Now the choice is yours to trim the bunny edges ( this sews them in place and keeps the edges from fraying) You can use an embroidery hoop and embroidery floss and do a satin stitch all of the way around. Or use your sewing machine on zigzag or embroidery edge setting. Or hand stitch a blanket stitch. Whatever best suits your comfort and skill level. As you can see I am using a satin stitch and honesty I need a bit of practice. It has been a very long time since I did any embroidery and sadly it shows. Important tip-DO NOT try to do embroidery in a dark living room 🙁

place bunnieshow to trim trim applique edges

Use your iron to press the napkin over the bunny applique and it’s time to add those cute tails. You will need to trim the Velcro dots to fit the size of the pom poms you are using. Hand stitch or use your sewing machine to attach the Velcro to the tails and the bunnies. Use the fuzzy part on the bunnies) I made the tails removable for washing the napkins. You can skip this step if you like and just stitch the tails on. I prefer to remove them so they stay nice and fluffy.

I added more embroidery to the bunny edges  for the finished napkins and there you have it. Sweet Easter Bunny Napkins ♥

Have a great weekend everyone. Make happy memories.

    Hello my sweet friend – I LOVE this tutorial (I think we used it in one of our Ruby issues) and I would like to feature it on my Vintage Mama’s Cottage blog next week. May I just include one or two images and link back here for the tutorial please? I’m out and about this evening visiting the other blog hop participants. I’m almost back to normal and working everyday! Hope to be caught up this week and then move forward. Love and hugs, Nina

    I’ll be praying for you! Try some lavender essential oil, mix it with some grapeseed or cocnut oil (or olive oil will work too) and rub it behind your ears, wrists, basically any place you put perfume, and on the bottom of your feet, and right before hand put some under your nose for aromatherapy. It will help you relax. Also, as soon as you lay down, start praying for your family and friends by name and focus on any prayer requests they might have. It will help to keep your mind off of it.
    I love the bunny rabbits!
