These napkin dresses are such a perfect addition to a baby shower or a bridal shower!

Start by taking each side of your napkin and folding it to the center…

    These are great. I’m always a fan of easy ideas – I am more likely to start AND finish a project if it is easy. I especially like the trim you chose for the bridal shower version – it adds just the right amount of texture, interest, and elegance. Who would have thought a paper napkin could be elegant? I would never have guessed it could, but you managed to do it. Love it.

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. One of my grandsons is going to have a baby, well his wife is, in July and I know what I am going to offer to make for the shower. This is the cutest idea.

    Oi. Interessante o uso que você fez do guardanapo. Acredito que com guardanapo colorido deve ficar muito interessante também. Obrigada pela dica.

    I believe that with napkins printed with flowers or other designs should be very interesting too. Thanks for the tip. ( I am from Brasil)

    I am so happy to have stumbled up on this website!!! I just sent a picture to my sister of the paper napkin dress. I am in love. I wanted something different for my baby shower, and this is it (in a good way). Okay back to cutting up paper (I’m trying the craft out while I’m at work and there is no napkins around) Thank you once again!!!

    This napkin dress tutorial is absolutely adorable! 👗✨ What a clever and creative idea for a shower or any special event! I love how easy it looks to put together, and the fact that it’s made with simple napkins is such a unique twist. It’s the perfect DIY for a fun, budget-friendly project, and I can already imagine how cute this would look at a bridal or baby shower. Thanks for the detailed instructions—I’m definitely going to try making one for my next event!
