If you don’t already know how, we’re teaching you how to fold a linen napkin this week. With minimal effort and maximum style, these bow ties make for perfect modern table decor.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Square napkins
- Napkin rings
Step 1:
Iron out a square napkin.
Step 2:
Fold the napkin in half once from opposite corners. Turn it so the longest side is at the top and the point faces down.
Step 3:
Fold up the bottom point about 2–3 cm.
Step 4:
Fold over the top towards the point twice.
Step 5:
Turn the bottom half up and over the top, then turn the napkin over.
Step 6:
Fold the napkin at the two diagonal folds in the middle then fold in each end. Make sure that the folded section lies parallel to the diagonal fold line.
Step 7:
Pinch the napkin into a rough bow shape with your fingers and slide it into a napkin ring. Neaten, then repeat with the rest of your napkins.
