Cute Napkin Folding ..

A napkin,also known as serviette or face towel is a rectangle of cloth used at the table for wiping the mouth and fingers while eating. It is usually small and folded, sometimes in intricate designs and shapes.We would like to share 3 simple napkin folding..Enjoy =)

1) The Bowtie Napkin Fold

2) Bird of paradise

	The Bird Of Paradise Napkin Fold This is a classic and classy napkin folding technique that requires a stiff napkin. If you don't have any dinner napkins made of stiff linen then a light starching should fix you right up.
	1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
	2. Fold the napkin in half.
	3. Fold the napkin in quarters.
	4. Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
	5. Orient the triangle so the open tip is facing away from you.
	6. Fold the right corner diagonally towards you - laying it down along the centerline of the triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you. An iron can make this important fold a whole lot easier.
	7. Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the previous fold. Now you have a diamond, you're rich! Yay!.
	8. Fold the two "wings" that you just made in folds 6 and 7 under so that you have your original triangle shape back. Once again an iron can make a world of difference.
	9. Fold the triangle in half by bringing the center seam towards you and allowing the ends to fall.
	10. This bird's almost ready to fly, but first you must give it some feathers. While holding the base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four 'flaps' created by the napkin's corners.
	Pretty cool fold, isn't it? It makes you wonder if there are people sitting around in basements performing experimental napkin folds while the rest of us are sleeping. This fold can be difficult if you don't use an iron or have a fairly stiff napkin so be prepared to put a few minutes into making each one.

3) The Goblet Fan

	The Goblet Fan Fold The goblet fan is one of the easiest goblet folds to accomplish. There is no ironing needed and almost any napkin will do.
	1. Lay the napkin face-down in front of you.
	2. Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end towards you.
	3. Fold the napkin into quarters.
	4. Fold the napkin in half to crease it and then open it back up. Accordion fold the napkin, ensuring that the center crease lands on an accordion fold. This will keep the ends even.
	5. Finish accordion-folding the napkin and it should look similar the the picture shown here.
	6. Firmly grasp one end of the fan and fold it over about an inch, allowing the other end to open up.
	7. Place the folded end into your glass and spread out the fan. Use it to cool off your food and amaze everyone with your horrific table manners!
