How to Make Cloth Napkin Animals
Napkin animals are popular on cruise ships. When you go to dinner on the ship and come back, it is very common to find an animal on your bed made out of a towel by the stateroom attendant. It is also possible to make an animal out of a cloth napkin. Making these animals can be fun for little kids, similar to making balloon animals. Making animals out of cloth napkins is not different than making them out of towels, only on a smaller scale. Does this Spark an idea?

Fold a smaller napkin into a triangle shape. Fold the tip of the triangle toward the long edge and fold the outside edges down to form the ears. Hold it down firmly and turn it over so the ears are facing upward. Set it over the top portion of the cat's body to act as the head.
