From folded cloth to folded art, a beautifully folded napkin can change the look of any table setting and bring a little bit of fun with it. There are so many designs to choose from and they're not a tricky as they may look. 

One of our favourite folds is the napkin bow. Follow along with these five easy steps and you will be wowing your dinner guests in no time. 

Five Simple Steps

1. Open out your napkin with the pattern or print facing downwards. Fold two opposite corners together to form a triangle.

2. Fold the long edge up to the point of the triangle. Then, fold the short edge up to the long edge.

4. Pinch the centre of the napkin to gather together and pull one end through the napkin ring. Tip: If you don’t have any napkin rings just use a piece of ribbon or pretty string and tie around the centre of the bow. You’ll get the same effect.
