WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Square napkins
Napkin rings
STEP 1
Iron out a square napkin.
STEP 2
Fold the napkin in half once from opposite corners. Turn it so the longest side is at the top and the point faces down.
STEP 3
Fold up the bottom point about 2–3 cm.
STEP 4
Fold over the top towards the point twice.
STEP 5
Turn the bottom half up and over the top, then turn the napkin over.
STEP 6
Fold the napkin at the two diagonal folds in the middle then fold in each end. Make sure that the folded section lies parallel to the diagonal fold line.
STEP 7
Pinch the napkin into a rough bow shape with your fingers and slide it into a napkin ring. Neaten, then repeat with the rest of your napkins.
