Mastering Napkin Folding: Add Elegance to Your Table

Elegant napkin folds are a simple way to elevate your table presentation. For effective napkin folding, it's recommended to use napkins with at least three layers (the number of layers is usually indicated on the napkin packaging). Additionally, the larger the napkin, the more impressive the final result.

Here are some ideas for napkin folds:

Crown - A classic napkin fold that works well for formal dinners. The crown can be placed on or beside the plate.

Step 1: Open one napkin fold to form a rectangle. Fold one top corner down and the opposite bottom corner up.

Step 2: Flip the napkin to the smooth side, pull the left corner up and then to the side.

Step 3: Fold one layer of the multi-layered triangle to the other side

Step 4: Fold the left triangle in half

Step 5: Tuck the end of the right triangle between the layers of the left triangle

Step 6: Stand the crown open, gently pull out one layer of the left triangle and fold it inward for volume.

Rose

An original and delicate fold, perfect for celebrations. The rose should be placed on the plate, with a roll or wine glass resting in its center.

Step 1: Spread and open the napkin completely, folding each corner to the center.

Step 2: Flip the napkin over, folding the new corners to the center.

Step 3: Place a glass or dessert dish in the center of the napkin to hold the folds in place.

Step 4: Expand the cracks between the folds at the top of the napkin, lift and pull the bottom corners upwards.
