How To Fold A Napkin 6 Different Ways

Get your bell! I have an ironing board on top of a small table that I set up in my kitchen while I press napkins. The simplest napkin folding techniques really shine when they look neat and nicely pressed.

Napkins are similar to scarves in a way. Sometimes, after you fold or arrange your napkin, it needs a little adjustment and flutter like a scarf. To fold a stiff napkin, make sure the corners and edges are vertical. For the relaxed look of the napkin, I’m happy with a little asymmetry.

Be creative and use fresh herbs to decorate napkins and place settings. I especially like to use mint, parsley and rosemary as garnishes.

Cut tags from napkins. A hard, stiff towel will not feel good on your feet and the cushion may move when you fold your towel. I recommend removing all tags and writing washing instructions somewhere.

Always wash, dry and discard napkins after use. If you delay washing, two things can happen, dirt can get in and you can forget about it. There is nothing worse than needing clean napkins and realizing they are dirty.

Yes, it’s basic, but it’s still a good old-fashioned choice. I know you know how to fold a square napkin into a rectangle. But I still wanted to include it because we live in a complicated world and sometimes we forget the basics.

The way you make this old cage even better is to line up the corners and edges as best you can and then iron your napkin until it looks nice.

Like a cage, this is a good old-fashioned option. Fold in half, then in quarters, making sure the edges line up. Then it’s just a matter of unfolding.

I couldn’t get the folds of the red napkin to show well in the picture, so I used a different color.

I can’t believe how distorted this handkerchief is! Fortunately, we cannot tell when it is folded. Start with the napkin facing up, starting from the bottom fold up a quarter of the way up the napkin, then folding it up again about a third or half way up. Now turn the napkin over and fold the sections 3 or 4 times, depending on how wide you want them to be. Make sure to print with a metal for a nice, fun look!

It works best with a thin, comfortable napkin. I bought this year ago at Pier 1, don’t know if they are still available. Start with a napkin square, fold in thirds seam side down, then tie a knot and flip.

Start with the face of your napkin, in a diamond shape. Just place the napkin ring in the center, pull and adjust.

This is a more formal version of a simple napkin ring. Begin by folding your napkin in half to form a triangle, with the end pointing down. Fold the left edge to meet the center edge, take the right edge and fold it to meet the center.

This one looks a little complicated, but it’s really simple! You will need a small glass or bowl with a wide rim. Start by folding your fabric in half to create a triangle. Start with the wide end and roll it up to look like a rope.

Now wrap the napkin rope in a circle, like a cinnamon roll. Then put in a glass or bowl and change.

Some folds are better with a thin fabric, others need a thicker fabric structure. In addition, some need more starch or paper napkin clarity.

How To Store Cloth Napkins Using The Fold Method

Fabric – mostly cotton or linen. A cotton napkin might be too thick if you’re planning something with a lot of folds. But if you’re making a long napkin curtain (a 3-D vertical object), the linen may not have enough body and shape.

Other materials are jute, silk, specialty and synthetic. Many have squares (which are required for most, but not all, napkin folds).

Paper Napkins – Paper napkins are great for parties, lunches and other casual events or parties with lots of guests. The biggest problem is that most paper napkins are not square, they are rectangular and thin. Look for 2 or 3 levels in most cases.

Also, something I never thought of but something to consider, are your dinner napkins square?

When I started this project I ordered a whole pack of square white napkins and when they arrived I was so disappointed that not one of them was a perfect square.

Actually, it was just low quality and the hems didn’t match. So check the napkin before packing. Those that don’t pass the square test can still be used for other folds, but they won’t look as good and fun.

All you have to do is fold the napkin in quarters to see if the corners and lines match. This napkin does not pass the square test. Unfortunately.

Iron and Starch – All cloth napkins need to be ironed before folding, and some need to be ironed depending on the fold (each is noted in the step-by-step guide).

Do it ahead of time – Unless it’s a cage you know and do regularly, try to do it ahead of time to save stress.

Placement – A question I get asked a lot is where do the napkins go in the envelope? The answer is that it really depends on your perspective and back when there was a strict protocol for setting the table, these days you can use artistic license.

But if you follow tradition, forks go on the left and knives and spoons on the right. Then place them the way you want to eat them if the end is next to the plate.

The breadboard is in the upper left and the water glass or wine glass is in the upper right.

How To Fold Napkins

Napkin size- Napkin size is 20×20 or 18×18. I like 18×18 for basic napkin folds, but 20×20 for longer or more detailed napkins.
