Fancy Napkin Folding Techniques

Rosebud Napkin Fold

The rosebud fold definitely comes under the category of fancy napkin folding techniques. What’s great about the rosebud is how easy it is to achieve a very tidy looking fold.  If your after a similar napkin fold that’s a bit more challenging make sure you check out the crown napkin fold.

Step one:

Lay the napkin out in front of you. If you’re napkin has any labels or a folded over seam make sure these are facing upwards to being with.

Step two:

Fold the napkin in half diagonally.

Step two:

Arrange the napkin so the longest side is closest to you and the open-ended point of the triangle is pointing away.

Step three:

Take the bottom right corner and fold it up to meet the top central point.

Step four:

Repeat the same process for the left hand side.

Step five:

Flip the entire napkin over from left to right.

Step six:

You’re napkin should resemble a diamond now. Take the bottom point and fold it upwards so it sits three quarters of the way up.

Step seven:

Flip it back over once more.

Step eight:

Fold the left hand side over about three quarters of the way.

Step nine:

Fold the right hand side over but making sure you tuck it inside the left hand fold.

Step ten:

Gently push both sides of the napkin to make it form a circle. This bit may require a bit of playing around to get a good circle. Try not to worry about it being perfect, you will probably find that it’ll stand relatively stable with a questionable looking base that’s not noticeable once vertical. No you have to admit that is one the more fancy napkin folding techniques.
