Napkin Folds |
These three napkin folds are easy to
create (but your guests will never know). For impressive
results, start with clean, pressed linen or cotton napkins, and
keep the iron hot. From www.marthastewart.com.
Yellow Bordered Napkin:
Fold the napkin in half diagonally to form a triangle, and iron
flat. Fold in two corners along the fold, and press one at a
time. This envelope-style fold is ideal for hemstitched napkins
or those with contrasting borders; a leaf or place card can be
inserted or laid on top.

Dark Brown Napkin:
Fold the napkin in half horizontally, and press along the folded
edge to make a crease. Unfold; place napkin on a surface with
the crease facing up. Roll napkin in from both ends toward the
crease (1). Stand napkin in a tumbler to hold its shape.
Light Brown Napkin:
Fold the napkin in half diagonally to form
a triangle; iron flat. Fold the point opposite the crease to the
middle of the crease, and iron. Fold into thirds lengthwise,
ironing creases along both folds (2). Next, fold the napkin
along the creases so it is long and flat. Fold up one end of the
napkin 1 inch from the edge; hold down (3). Begin rolling napkin
up from this end, keeping the tuft exposed. Tuck the remaining
end into the bottom half of the roll, and center napkin on a
butter plate (4)
