Pretty and practical! Napkin Folding by Marie Claire features 40 ideas for original table settings. If you've admired them at restaurants or special events now you can fold your own. They are easy to make and once you've folded one, duplicates come easily and quickly. Plus the folding is meditative. Choose from 40 designs organized by theme - simplicity, romance, glamour, hearts, oriental, garden, city and sea. Personalize the design by your choice of napkin (color, pattern, fabric) and how you lay the table. The folding ranges in difficulty from simple to detailed. Clear step-by-step diagram and text instructions accompany each design. For cloth napkin folds spray with starch and iron. I used paper napkins. So far I'v folded the Pretty heart, Precious star and Lotus flower - all easily. With paper napkins, just fold and crease. Beautifully folded napkins make for a stylish and thoughtful presentation.

This is the Pretty heart I folded from page 76. I used a 3-ply lunch sized (33 x 33 cm) paper napkin. No scissors, tape or glue used.
