Easter Carrot Napkins

I love using fancy china for some holiday meals like Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve etc. and eating in the formal dining room.  It makes the day just seem a little extra special.  I love how it can cause us to slow down a little and just enjoy the moment and maybe sit and chat?!?!  For some reason Easter on the other hand I am usually all about the Target or Party City paper plates and table cloths.  With all the meal prep that can go into these special days it is nice to have a few holidays here and there with easy clean up…am I right!!

So in the spirit of fun cute little holiday decor, and Easter being on its way, I wanted to share these cute carrot napkins!  These often make their way to my paper plate style table, and will go great with any casual or pot-luck style meal.   These are an old classic, and so simple, but it’s those fun simple details that can add so much!

Here’s what you will need:

~Large size orange napkins

~ Green plastic cutlery

~Ties: raffia, ribbon, twine etc.

I usually hit up the party store when ever I need to buy colored napkins or cutlery.  This way you can find a good selection of the colors you need.  

Position your napkin in a diamond shape and then place your cutlery so the fork is on top, if you are using a knife and spoon too, with them sticking up just past the top point of the orange napkin.  The fork on top with give it the look of a carrot top!  🙂  

Then fold one side in: 

And then continue rolling the fork and napkin the rest of the way over until you have a nice tight little bundle.  I tied mine with raffia, because I had it on hand, but any green ribbon or twine will work great too!

They are fun to put out at everyone’s place setting.  You could even tie little name tags to your ribbon if you are having assigned seats. 

These are also cute to leave out in a little bundle for an adorable table decoration, or you can put them in a basket for grabbing if you are having a pot-luck style!

Then what’s even better about these is that the kids can totally help too!  You can always grab some pipe cleaners for easy wrapping with kids!

Happy Easter!

I would love if you would join my Friday link-up party!
