Instructions:

To make the “Basket”, we’re going to follow 7 steps.

1. First off, go ahead and fold a square napkin diagonally, to form a triangle.

2. Fold the base up about 3 or 4 inches from the bottom.

3. Now flip the whole thing over so the triangle is pointing to the left.

4. Take the top point and fold it down so it’s just short of the bottom by a couple of inches.

5. Fold the bottom point, a few inches past the top edge, and tuck it around the backside of the pouch.

6. Fold the point of the top layer, down over the front of the pouch.

7. Fold the back layer, down over the back side.

Go ahead and straighten up the edges, fluff up the pouch a bit, and your basket is finished.

If you tie a ribbon around the top, it adds an amazing amount of stability, and of course the same folds will work on paper napkins as well. Well now you know how to fold a decorative napkin basket.
