DIY napkins for kids lunchboxes are a great way to bring a smile at lunchtime. They are really easy to make in under 5 minutes and you can personalize the fabrics to your child’s personality.
DIY Napkins
Cutting
Cut 2 pieces of contrasting fabric 10 x 10 inches (25x25cm).
This will give you a nice size for kids that is not too large. Try to use pure cotton or other absorbent fabrics so your finished napkin will mop up any lunchtime mess.

Instructions
Step 1: Put your 2 fabric pieces with their right sides together and stitch all the way around with a 1/4 inch (6mm) seam allowance and leave a 2 inch (5cm) gap on one side.
Step 2: Clip the 4 corners and turn the napkin the right way out through the gap.
Step 3: Give it a good press making sure your corners are looking nice and square. The seam allowance at the gap should be pressed to the inside.
Step 4: Finally, topstitch all the way around the edge.
