Beautifully folded decorative napkins will enhance your table setting. Each time you need to re-fold the cloth napkins. Try fan, pocket, pyramid, or rose napkins for your next gala dinner.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Fan

1. 1 Place an ironed square napkin on your dining table. The larger the napkin, the larger your fan will be. Smooth the napkin so that there are no wrinkles.
2. 2 Fold it in half horizontally.
3. 3 Fold the edge of the napkin 5 centimeters on one side. Continue wrapping 5 centimeters until a fan starts to form. Stop as soon as 10 centimeters are left on the opposite edge.
4. 4 Take the fan from either side. Fold it in half horizontally. The remaining 10 centimeters should be inside the fan, not outside.
5. 5 Fan the top corners of the remaining 10 centimeters. Make sure you fold them securely so that you have a solid base.
6. 6 Place the base of the fan on a plate and open the napkin in a semicircle.

Method 2 of 4: Pocket

1. 1 Place the square napkin you just ironed on the table.
2. 2 Fold it in half vertically. Smooth it out again. It is necessary to smooth out the wrinkles on the napkin, regardless of the shape you choose.
3. 3 Fold it horizontally, one third the length of the napkin.
4. 4 Fold the bottom edge up again, again one third of the total length of the napkin. This will create a double fold.
5. 5 Turn the napkin over. Fold both edges vertically towards the center. First of all, you need to bend the left edge towards the center.
6. 6 Bring the right side to the center and tuck it under the left side. Use the pocket you get.
7. 7 Turn the napkin over gently. You should now have a pocket that you can use to place a spoon, knife, and fork.

Method 3 of 4: Pyramid

1. 1 Place a square napkin on the table. Arrange the corners so that you get a diamond shape, not a square.
2. 2 Fold it in half, connecting the bottom end to the top end. Smooth out the napkin.
3. 3 Fold in the left corner so that it rests on the top end.
4. 4 Fold in the right corner so that it rests on the top end.
5. 5 Turn the napkin over. Fold the bottom end towards the top. You should now have a triangle.
6. 6 Lift the center of the triangle up. Squeeze the outer ends of the triangle together. Place the pyramid on a plate.

Method 4 of 4: Rose

1. 1 Take a square napkin. Smooth it out and place it on the table.
2. 2 Bend each tip towards the center of the napkin. Flip the napkin over, leaving the folds intact.
3. 3 Bend all corners again towards the center.
4. 4 Place an inverted glass in the center of the napkin. It should cover all 4 edges evenly. Press down on the glass with your free hand.
5. 5 Pull out one edge gently. Grab the fold and pull gently so that the tip is about 0.6 cm farther than the top corner. You should have a petal.
6. 6 Repeat at each corner. Do not forget to apply pressure to the glass so that the napkin does not unfold.
7. 7 Remove the glass and place the napkin on a plate.
