Lay one square napkin on top of the other
You will have to get two napkins for this fold. In this example, blue and aqua were chosen. They have to be square napkins.
Next, fold the napkins in half vertically.
Stack the tow napkins together by putting one on top of the other. Make sure to stack them up perfectly. Good job. Now it's time to move to the next steps.

Extra Tips
- You could iron the napkin first. No guest would want to be presented a wrinkled napkin on their plate. Ironing your table cloth napkin is the first step in preparing for a good dining experience!
- Placing a napkin in the middle of a plate is one of the best ways to showcase its design. For example, if you plan on putting the food at the top left side of your main plate, it’s best to place the napkin at the top left. If you have lots of guests at your table and are using deep leaves, then make sure you fold them, so they are easily accessible by guests.
- Before proceeding to the last step, insert a menu or a small note inside the napkin. This will make a wonderful surprise to your guest!
- Enjoy the process. Napkin folding is relaxing.
