STANDING FAN NAPKIN FOLD If desired you can use starched napkins and iron the folds for sharper creases. |
 |
Step 1: Lay the napkin out flat. |
 |
Step 2: Fold the left half over so the fold is at the left. |
 |
Step 3: Begin accordian folding at the bottom. Make each pleat about 3/4"-1" wide. |
 |
Step 4: Pleat only about 2/3 of the napkin. |
 |
Step 5: Fold the right side in half, underneath. |
 |
Step 6: Fold the top left corner down at an angle. On the right side the edges should stick out about 1" past the fold of the napkin. |
 |
Step 7: Fold this 1" overlap under to secure the pleats and make the "stand". |
|
