How to Fold a Napkin for the Table

A well-folded napkin brings a touch of elegance to a dinner table. And learning to fold a napkin properly is incredibly easy.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Form a triangle by taking the bottom corner of the napkin and brining it to the top corner of the napkin. This will start the "pure and simple" fold.

2. Align the napkin triangle so that the tip of the triangle faces away from you. Take the bottom corners of the triange and fold them up to a point in the middle to form a diamond shape.

3. Flip the napkin over and fold the bottom corner of the diamond up about two to three inches. Take the two sides of the napkin and fold them behind the napkin. Your napkin should now look like a pope-hat. Place the silverware on the napkin and you're done.
