The Pyramid Napkin Fold

This classy napkin folding technique is


simple, fast, and can be made easily with
most napkins. If the napkin being used is
thin and flops easily then iron it with
light starch prior to folding and it will
turn out perfectly!
STEP 1
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Lay the napkin face down in front


of you.
STEP 2
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin in half diagonally.


STEP 3
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Rotate the napkin so the open end


faces away from you.
STEP 4
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Fold the right end up to meet the far


corner, ensuring the edge of this
new fold lays on the centerline as
shown.
STEP 5
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Repeat the last step with the left


side, folding the left tip up to the far
corner, creating a diamond shape
with a seam running down the
center.
STEP 6
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Turn the napkin over, keeping the


open end facing away from you.
STEP 7
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin in half by bringing


the farthest point of the diamond up
and back to the nearest point.
STEP 8
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Turn the napkin over again, this


time keeping the open end facing
towards you.
STEP 9
The Pyramid Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin along the center


seam and you have a neat, sturdy
pyramid. If your napkin won't stand
neatly then you may need a little
starch.
The Arrow Napkin Fold

This method of folding napkins is very


simple and can be done with almost any
napkin without a need for starch. It adds
a flowing, elegant look to your table.
STEP 1
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Lay the napkin face down in front


of you.
STEP 2
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin in half and orient


the open end towards you.
STEP 3
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Fold the far-right corner over to the


center of the side that is closest to
you. The edge of this fold should
run down the center of the napkin.
STEP 4
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Repeat the last step with the other


side, folding the far-left corner in to
rest along side the previous fold.
STEP 5
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Fold the right-flap out diagonally so


that it's outer edge runs even with
the far edge of the napkin.
STEP 6
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Repeat the previous step on the


other side, folding the left flap out
diagonally to meet the far edge of
the napkin.
STEP 7
The Arrow Napkin Fold

Slide the left and the right sides


together, allowing the napkin to
bend at the farthest point. This will
cause the flat, center part to bow.
Pretty easy, huh?
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Got some really limp napkins and want


something nice to make without eating
up too much time? Then this one's for
you, if you're using thick/stiff napkins
then an iron will help.
STEP 1
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Lay the napkin face-down in front


of you.
STEP 2
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin in half and orient


the open end toward you.
STEP 3
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Fold the napkin into quarters.


STEP 4
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Fold the top-most layer of the


napkin in half diagonally - up and
to the left.
STEP 5
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Fold the next layer of napkin


diagonally up and to the left,
stopping slightly before the last fold
to create an even, staggered effect.
STEP 6
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Repeat by folding up the next layer


of napkin to a point just before the
last one.
STEP 7
The Diamond Napkin Fold

And one last time with one last


layer. Keep them as uniform as you
can.
STEP 8
The Diamond Napkin Fold

Now fold both sides of the napkin


under and in to create an even,
staggered diamond effect on the
napkin. Press it down as flat as
possible and you're ready for guests
within 60 seconds!
