TP Easter Bunny Napkin Ring
Turn a recycled cardboard tube into a cute Easter Bunny napkin ring for your holiday table. This easy Easter craft for kids uses simple felt pieces and basic supplies to create a fun table decoration that is both adorable and practical. It is a great project for home, classroom activities, or a family craft afternoon.
Supplies
- Felt
- Paper towel roll or toilet paper roll, cut about 2 inches wide
- Glue or hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Clothespins, optional
Felt Pieces Needed
- 1 strip of felt to wrap around the roll
- 2 bunny ears
- 2 inner ear pieces
- 2 eyes
- 1 nose
- 1 set of teeth
Instructions
- Cut your cardboard tube so it is about 2 inches wide.
- Glue the strip of felt around the outside of the tube. If you are using regular craft glue, use clothespins to hold the felt in place while it dries.
- Glue the inner ear pieces onto the bunny ears.
- Fold the bottom of each ear slightly so the ears face forward, then glue them onto the inside top of the ring. A small dab of glue at the base can help hold the folded shape.
- Glue on the eyes, nose, and teeth. If you like, cut a small rounded V-shape where the mouth goes and glue the teeth behind it for extra detail.
- Let everything dry completely.
- To add the napkin, fold a napkin into a square and turn it so it looks like a diamond. Fold the top corner down, then fold in the sides. Slide the folded napkin into the bunny ring.

Supplies
Felt
Paper Towel or Toilet Paper Roll cut about 2" wide
Glue or Glue Gun
Scissors
Felt pieces you will need:
1 strip of felt to cover roll
2 ears
2 ear inserts
2 eyes
1 nose
1 set teeth
Instructions
Glue strip around roll first. If you are using regular craft glue clothes pins come in handy to hold the felt down as it dries.
Glue inserts into ears. I added a bead a glue to the base of the ears after assembled and folded in half. I clothespinned it to the roll.
Folding in half at base allows ear to open face forward.
Glue on features. If desired you can cut out a rounded v shaped notch for mouth area and glue teeth behind.
When dry - fold napkin into a square. Hold like a diamond.
Fold down top corner and fold in sides. Insert napkin into Bunny Ring.
