Extra Tips
- There's an extra flap on this hat napkin tutorial. You may tuck the flap inside the rim of the hat.
- This napkin fold isn't just for Christmas, it could also be used for other events depending on what color of napkin you'll be using. For example, use a purple, orange or black napkin and it will turn into a witches' hat. This would make a wonderful table setting especially during the Halloween season
- Is the elf hat napkin tilting? Most likely, it's because you're using a soft or thin piece of napkin. If you're using cloth, it's better to starch it first to make it stiff. You can also starch the cloth napkin by making your mix of starch and water. Spray it evenly on a flat surface, then iron it with an ironing board. You can also get ready-made starch spray from the store or make your own by mixing equal parts starch and water in a bowl. Then evenly coat the napkin with the mixture on a flat surface until it dries entirely, being careful not to get any of it onto your hands before. Once dried, you can fold it into a hat cone!
