Decorative Napkin Fold Tutorial

Napkins and cutlery are an indispensable part of every festive table. But just like cutlery, they often go unnoticed unless you've bought napkins with fun or exciting patterns. Then the main topic at the table is two minutes.

So if this time you want to show your guests how much effort you put into preparing food and setting the table, be creative and create an exciting decoration from napkins in just a few minutes.

By simply folding a napkin, you can get a completely different decoration with each piece of cutlery, and most importantly - you will have fun, so feel free to invite your little one to help.

But before we share some ideas for folding napkins, we want to give you some tips.

How to Choose the Correct Napkins?

To begin with, you should choose suitable napkins because the design of the napkins depends on the material of the napkin, its size, and shape.

Cloth napkins will be easier to shape than paper napkins and will also fit better with the table's elegant look.

But don't give up paper napkins either. They are a little more demanding to shape, but if they are of good quality, they will fit on the table you decorated for Sunday lunch or a family party.

Likewise, it is best if the napkins are square, but you can also use rectangular napkins if necessary.

And when it comes to color and patterns, the sky is the limit. Red, colorful, blue, white. Just choose your favorite color.
