What You Will Need
- Napkin
- Utensils (fork, knife, and spoon)
Step 1: Begin with a Square Napkin
Start with a square napkin and lay it flat on the table in front of you.
Step 2: Fold the Napkin in Half Diagonally
Take one corner of the napkin and fold it diagonally towards the opposite corner, forming a triangle shape.
Step 3: Fold the Napkin in Half Again
Take the bottom point of the triangle and fold it up towards the top point, creating a smaller triangle.
Step 4: Fold the Napkin into a Long Strip
Take the left and right corners of the triangle and fold them towards the center, so that they meet each other. You should now have a long strip of folded napkin.
Step 5: Insert the Utensils
Place the utensils in the center of the folded napkin strip, with the spoon in the middle, and the fork and knife on each side. Ensure the handles are aligned at the top.
Step 6: Roll the Napkin
Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the napkin strip upwards, covering the utensil handles as you go. Make sure the rolled napkin is secure and the utensils are firmly enclosed.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
Take the rolled napkin and gently tuck the loose end underneath the roll to secure it. Fluff out the top of the napkin to create a decorative flourish.
Your Folded Utensils in a Napkin are Ready!
Now you have a beautifully folded utensil napkin that adds an elegant touch to your table setting. Repeat the process for each place setting to create a cohesive and stylish look.
Remember, practice makes perfect. Don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t turn out exactly as planned. Keep trying, and soon you’ll master the art of folding utensils in a napkin like a pro.
Enjoy your next special occasion and impress your guests with this simple yet sophisticated table decor technique!
