Napkins are an easy way to update your table and there are so many ways to fold them beyond a simple rectangle.
Below are three easy options that our team loves to use on our own tablescapes!
- The Quick Tie
- Fold napkin into a rectangle (as you would normally)
- Fold lengthwise again to a thinner rectangle
- Place fork or fork and knife in middle of rectangle and secure with a ribbon

- The Tassel
- Unfold the napkin with the pattern laying face up on the table
- Grab the center of the napkin between your thumb and pointer finger
- Secure tassel shape by sliding a napkin ring down the middle of the napkin or tying with a ribbon

- The Knot
- Make a triangle by folding the napkin in half
- Starting at the wide end, fold the napkin up by 1 inch
- Continue folding the 1 inch section over itself towards the top of the triangle
- Once fully wrapped, bring the two end together and tie napkin into a knot
- Bonus: If the knotted napkin appears to long for your place setting, simply fold the tops of each end inside the roll
