The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a myriad of opportunities to showcase your creativity and festive spirit. From decking the halls to preparing a bountiful feast, every little detail counts when it comes to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your family and guests. One often overlooked but impactful element is the art of napkin folding.

Why should you bother with napkin folding?

While it may seem like a small detail, beautifully folded napkins can elevate your dining table and add an extra touch of sophistication. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a large Christmas party, folded napkins are an excellent way to add a festive flair to your table setting.

How to fold Christmas napkins

1. The Classic Christmas Tree Fold

  • Start with a square napkin and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle.
  • Fold the right and left corners of the triangle to the top corner, creating a smaller triangle shape.
  • Next, fold the bottom edge of the triangle up about two-thirds of the way.
  • Flip the napkin over and fold the right and left corners towards the center, creating the “branches” of the tree.
  • Finally, flip the napkin back over so the point of the triangle faces downward, and stand it upright on the table to reveal your Christmas tree napkin fold.

2. The Festive Bow Tie Fold

  • Begin with a square napkin and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle.
  • Next, fold the right and left corners of the triangle towards the center, creating a smaller triangle with a pointed bottom.
  • Take the bottom corners of the triangle and fold them up towards the top corner, overlapping them slightly.
  • Flip the napkin over, and fold the right and left corners towards the center, creating the “bow” of the bow tie.
  • Finally, fold the top point of the triangle down to secure the bow tie shape, and place it on your table for a dapper touch.

3. The Star of Bethlehem Fold

  • Start with a square napkin and rotate it so it forms a diamond shape.
  • Take the bottom corner of the diamond and fold it up towards the top corner, leaving a small portion of the top corner visible.
  • Flip the napkin over and fold the right and left corners towards the center, creating a slender diamond shape.
  • Next, fold the right and left corners towards the back to create two triangles on either side.
  • Finally, fold the bottom point of the napkin up towards the top, tucking it into the opening created by the two triangles to form a beautiful star shape.

Mastering the art of napkin folding can transform your table setting into a festive and elegant masterpiece. With a little practice and creativity, you can impress your guests and create a memorable experience for everyone gathered around your holiday table. So this Christmas, unleash your inner decorator and give your napkins the attention they deserve!
