Shape the base of the diamond napkin folding
Lay a square cloth or paper napkin in front of you on a table. In this example, an aqua cloth napkin was used.
Fold the napkin half by bringing the left edge towards the right.
Fold the top edge towards the bottom. This way, the napkin is folded twice in half.
Great job. Then rotate the napkin forty-five degrees clockwise to prepare the napkin into the next set of steps.
Create the wave design of the table napkin
To make the waves we will fold all the right side flaps toward the left. Fold the top layer to the right first to the left corner.
Folding the first layer to the other side created a small pocket in the middle of the napkin. You must tuck the second layer on the right side into this pocket to form the first wave. Do not tuck it fully inside.
Repeat the previous step with the next layer as well. You have to ensure that the next waves are smaller than the previous ones.
Curl the wave napkin
Curl the waves of the napkin, and the wave napkin is now ready! It is customary to place the napkin in the middle of the plate and point the pointed side away from the viewer.
