Then fold the napkin in half. Fold the top corner towards the bottom corner.
Make a strip at the top side
Fold the top edge of the napkin towards the bottom. The strip that you'll make doesn't need to be thicker than one inch. Good job so far! You are close to finishing the fold.
Make the sleeves of the kimono

Then do the same for the left side. Congratulations! You have finished making the kimono napkin fold and if you like to learn more folds, check out the articles below 😉
Extra Tips
- You could iron the napkin first. Starching is also an option. Ironing your table cloth napkin is the first step in preparing for a good dining experience, but it's not all that simple. No guest would want to be presented with a wrinkled napkin on their plate.
- The color of your napkin is important. So consider the theme and event.
- There are many ways to display a napkin on a table setting. Like other folded napkins, it’s best to place the napkin in the center of the plate. You must make sure that the left and right tips are at the same height and point toward the viewer. If a large food or menu card is placed in the center of the main plate, you could put it at the top left side.
