How to fold a napkin (5 version of fold)

Candle Folding Technique 

Lay the napkin fave down in front of you 

Fold the napkin in half diagonally.

Fold the long side up just about an inch. Starting at either end, tightly roll the napkin into a cylinder. Take care to roll it straight so it will stand solidly.

Tuck the end of the roll into the base on the backside 

stand it up

Bird of Paradise Folding Technique 

Lay the napkin face down in front of you.

Fold the napkin in half

Fold the napkin in quarters

Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle.

 Fold the right corner diagonally towards you - laying it down along the centerline of the triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you

Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the previous fold.

Fold the two "wings" that you just made in folds 6 and 7 under so that you have your original triangle shape back

Fold the triangle in half by bringing the center seam towards you and allowing the ends to fall

While holding the base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four 'flaps' created by the napkin's corners

DONE .. 

Pinwheel Folding Technique 

Iron the napkin flat

Fold all the tips of the napkins into the center

Fold two opposite edges towards the center, creating a rectangle

Fold the two short edges of the rectangle towards the center

Now take one flap and pull out one of the edges to make a point

Repeat with the second flap

With the right flap, pull it down towards you

Turn the napkin around and repeat steps 5-7 to finish up the pinwheel napkin fold

Bishop Hat Folding Technique

Lay the napkin face down in front of you

Fold the dinner napkin in half so that the open end is towards you

Fold the far-right corner diagonally towards you, resting the point in the center of the side closest to you

Fold the near-left corner diagonally away from you, resting it so that it lays right next to the previous fold

Flip the napkin over and orient it so it points to the far-left and to the near-right

Fold the bottom half of the napkin up and away from you, laying it so the far edges run on top of one other

Reach underneath of the napkin and pull out the flap on the right, making the near-side come to two points as seen in the picture

Gently roll the left half of the left triangle over and tuck it's end underneath the right triangle

Flip the napkin over, points pointing away from you

Fold the right-triangle to the left, tucking it's end into the other triangle

 Open up the hat and press the material inside down to fill it out so that it becomes circular, this may take a little fidgeting

Envelope Folding Technique

Iron the napkin flat

Fold the napkin in half so that the open end is facing away from you


On the left hand side of the napkin, fold both corner edges towards the center to form two triangles

Fold the right side of the napkin over in half to meet the right

Take both triangle layers and fold both over to create the napkin envelop fold
