Materials Needed:
- Fabric napkins
- An iron
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Start with a clean and crisp fabric napkin. If needed, iron the napkin beforehand to achieve a neat and professional look.
2. Lay the napkin flat on a clean surface, with one corner facing you.
3. Begin folding the napkin diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the edges are aligned perfectly.
4. With the longest side of the triangle facing you, fold the right and left corners towards the center to create an elongated diamond shape.
5. Take the bottom corner of the diamond shape and fold it up towards the top corner, making sure the edges align precisely.
6. Next, fold the left and right corners towards the center once again, forming a narrow diamond shape.
7. Flip the napkin over, keeping the folded edges underneath.
8. Bring the top layer of the napkin down, leaving a small triangle shape at the top. This will become Santa Claus’s face.
9. Pick up the left and right corners of the napkin’s top layer and fold them towards the center, creating the sides of Santa Claus’s beard.
10. Flip the napkin over once more.
11. Fold the left and right edges of the napkin towards the center, creating the base of Santa Claus’s face.
12. Finally, carefully turn the napkin around, and you’ll see a charming Santa Claus shape ready to bring joy to your dining table!
