We have all admired table settings at restaurants and weddings. Napkins play an important practical as well as artistic role in the dining experience. Napkin Folding is a special art form, which anyone can learn. We will start with napkin rings, followed by beautiful examples of napkin art, and conclude by making one of our own: a Christmas Tree Napkin. Let’s get started…

How to Make a Napkin Christmas Tree:
Place a Large Square Napkin on a Table.
Fold It in Half.
Fold It in Half Again to Form a Square.
Turn It Toward You. (loose edges at top & folded sides at bottom)
Fold a Small Triangle at Bottom.
Peel Down One Layer Toward Bottom
Fold Another Triangle Overlapping the First. (leave about an inch of the bottom layer exposed)
Repeat Process for Each Layer
Last Layer Completed
Fold Left Side Back to Form Half of Tree
Half Finished Christmas Tree
Finished Christmas Tree Napkin
Adjust the top of tree and folds as needed. Congratulations! You have successfully completed your first napkin folding project. Preparing for a wedding or a large dinner party? Only 199 napkins to go. lol
There are lots of how-to videos online or challenge yourself to come up with an original design. Have fun with it. What is the best folded napkin design you have ever seen? I loved the birds of paradise napkins at a Hawaiian restaurant. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks for Reading & Happy Crafting!
