Instructions:
The “Rose” can be folded in just 6 easy steps.
1. Get started with a square napkin, and fold each of the 4 corners into the center as best you can. Most napkins aren’t perfectly square, but just do the best you can, with what you’ve got.
2. The next step is to take the 4 new corners, and fold them into the center as well.
3. Now just hold everything together at the middle, and flip the napkin over.
4. Let’s repeat the process again, by taking these 4 corners, and folding them into the middle like we did the the others.
5. Ok, we’re just about done, so to finish up, hold the center firmly with one hand, and gently pull the tips from underneath the corners, until they look like flower petals.
6. When you’ve done this to each of the 4 corners, do the same thing, to the undersides of the edges. This will make little points stick out between your rose petals, and give the whole thing a nice symmetrical balance.
This adds an amazing decorative flare to your dinner presentation, and if you don’t have any cloth napkins, these can look great with paper napkins as well.
