Skill Level

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ (Very Easy)

Materials Needed

Standard paper napkins.

Napkin Type: Use sturdy yet foldable paper napkins.

A medium-weight napkin (around 60-80 GSM) works best for this project, as it holds folds well but is still easy to handle. Thin napkins may lose their shape, while thicker ones may be harder to crease neatly.

No problem - the full photo guide is waiting just below.

Step One: First make sure your napkin is folded in quarters and arranged in a square. This is normally how paper napkins are in the packet.

Step Two: Making sure the open corners of your napkin are at the bottom (towards you), fold it in half, bringing the top edge to the bottom edge.

Step Three: Fold the napkin in half, bringing the right edge to the left edge.

Step Four: Unfold previous step.

Step Five: Hold the top layer by the lower right hand corner and carefully slide it over to the lower left corner.

This will allow the napkin to flatten to a triangular shape. Crease to hold the triangular shape.

Step Six: Turn the napkin over from left to right, ensuring the point is on the top edge (away from you).

Step Seven: Repeat step 5, creating a triangle.

Tips For Success

• If your napkin feels too stiff or difficult to fold, gently run your fingers along the edges to soften them.
• For an extra festive look, consider using two-tone napkins or napkins with a metallic finish to mimic the sparkle of a Christmas tree.
