Tablescape Thursday- Napkin Folding Step by Step “The flower”
It is “Tablescape Thursday” over at Between Naps on the porch and I am showing a napkin fold plus pictures and a video of my table at the bottom.
For the napkin…I call it the “Flower” fold but I don’t really know the real name of the napkin fold. It is so easy to do! I took pictures step by step so you can see how to do it….. to use on your own table for Valentines day or any time to make your table special.
1. Lay a square napkin down on your surface. Mine is approx. 18″ square.
2. Fold all 4 corners into the center
It looks like a package see below
3. Fold all 4 corners into the center again.
It is a more compact looking package.
4. Flip the whole package over..being careful not to let it unfold
All folds are underneath….smooth side is up
5. Yep you guessed it….Fold all four corners to the center again!
It is starting to look like a flower now! You can leave it like this and place something in the center but if you want it to really say WOW!…keep going……
6. Underneath each corner….. there is a flap….just pull it out. You can see my fingers holding on to the underneath flap in the picture below.
Voila! You just made your first Flower napkin!
Now add a little pizazz by placing a flower, or candy or some little trinket in the center and you have the WOW factor going on!
Here is my little flower on my black and white salad plate, sitting on my white dinner plate on top of my red charger plate.
Here is another shot of the table all decked out with little silver snowflake name card holders.
The fabric in the center of the table is a piece of black and white Toile from Walmart!Using what I had on hand to make an ordinary table …extrodinary! he he he Here is a little video piece on this table decor
with a few added extras….Notice the cake plate (A Christmas cake plate no less) and close ups of the snowflake name card holders. Use what you have and be creative!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
I love making different napkin folds! I have a lot of them on my Pinterest. Thanks for the tutorial. XO Cindy
